THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
After birth, as one grows, one develops association with relatives,
friends, teachers and others. Through these numerous relationships, one's human
qualities develop and blossom. You must show your gratitude to all by striving
for their well-being. Without these associations, the lone individual would
remain at an animal level. If you confine your interests to a few subjects, it
will result in narrow-mindedness. You must not be restrictive in acquiring
skills that help you earn a livelihood. In fact, you must learn about life
itself, how it should be lived and the basic goal of life. Learning how to earn
an income is not a great thing; all the evils that we see in the world today
stem from a perverted system of education. An educated person must control
one's senses. Education that helps one discover one's spiritual essence is real
education. Learn how to live as a worthy human being. (Divine Discourse, "My
Dear Students", Vol 2, Ch 8, Jun 15, 1989)
