Words of Wisdom-3: "The Drawbacks of Mere Book-Learning"

Modern education is highly advanced…. Yet, the day to day problems in the society have not diminished. Miseries of the masses are piling up. Hypocrisy, corruption, beastliness and such vices are eating into the human race. It is totally disheartening to notice the educated and the executive class falling prey to darker vices. These hard facts force us to stop and think a while. Yes, education centred on mere book-learning and bread-winning cannot be the panacea. – Srimat Swami Purushottamanandaji Maharaj

Words of Wisdom-2: "Secular Knowledge devoid of Spiritual Values"

Mere secular knowledge devoid of deep roots in moral and spiritual values would lead to the creation of lop-sided individuals who are clever and skillful – ‘rich’ in technology but poor in humanity. (Atmavikas: A Self-Development Journal for Class IX, published by Ramakrishna Mission, Belur Math, Price Rs.70/-)

Words of Wisdom-1:

Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested, all your life. We must have life-building, man-making, character-making assimilation of ideas. If you have assimilated five ideas and made them your life and character, you have more education than any man who has got by heart a whole library – Swami Vivekananda
