If anyone blames, abuses or hurts you, do not return him with the same. Behave nobly and with patience. When a dog bites a man, the man does not bite the dog in return. Education must lead you from darkness to light. It is only those who wander in darkness that fall into pits; can a man walking in the light fall into a pit? If he does, it means that he is still 'in the dark'. Vid means light, and a vidyarthi must seek light and gain it. What is the use of an eye that does not reveal to you the pitfalls? Education must endow you with the type of eye which will reveal in time the pits that yawn in your path.
