It is often declared that knowledge is power. No, character is power. Nothing can be more powerful on Earth than Character. Riches, scholarships, status, authority are all frail and flimsy before it.
While earning a livelihood is important, what matters most is ideals for which you live. The primary purpose of education is to enable one to manifest the Divinity within him. When students pursue education in this spirit, they will be able to promote the welfare of the nation, of society and their own good.
