Comparison between Mr. Gradgrind and
Nanabhai Bhatt as a Teacher
2. As explained in the above stated shloka from
Ishopanishada “Avidya” endows man the knowledge and
skills of carrying out responsibilities, social customs and
duties in life and thereby helping him to earn one’s
livelihood. With such skilful strength, a journey from birth
to death is believed to accomplish crossing over the
ocean of life.
Whereas "Vidya" quenches an eternal thirst of haying
the ultimate spiritual knowledge and satisfaction as equal
to immortality. Hence, the visionary dream of LokBharati
is to worship the comprehensive study of both.,"Avidya"
(skilful strength) and "Vidya" (vision of inner self), which
enables man to breathe happily in the cosmic world as
well as to have perpetual pleasure of one's own being.
