Man's heart, which ought to be filled with compassion that is natural to it, is today full of cruelty and bitterness. Education, which should serve to refine man's nature and make him a hero, is failing in its purpose because in his conduct, man is a "zero". An education which does not develop humanness is an utter waste. The education system should ensure that along with knowledge, right conduct is also developed.
True education should produce a blossoming of human qualities. It should not be merely for earning a living, but should result in a ripening of the heart, filling it with love. "What happiness can one achieve if all his education makes him concerned only about filling his stomach and makes him forget the Supreme Lord?
(SS June 1994, pg 148)
