9. “Ideal or spiritual guide
is the living embodiment of education
and he alone can feel this
who has adherence – delighting to go
in accordance with him.”
10. “He is the existence of all that exists, -
thereby He, ‘the Sat’
He is the responsiveness of all that responds, -
So ‘Chit’ - that He is;
He is the becoming of each that comes, -
thus He – the ‘Ananda’ as known”.
11. “Where education does not collaborate
with character and conduct
it is merely an induction
of knowledge.”
12. “Literacy degrees
are not the emblem of education
what leads to the
domain of wisdom
that concentrates
with a meaningful adjustment
in a unicentric condensation of truth
is education.”
13. “To become mere expert in reading and writing
is not to be called education;
without habits, behavior and common sense,
there is no education at all.”
“The systematic organization of instincts and habits
that will fulfill the becoming of life through a graduated,
active manipulation of behavior is education.”
14. • True education is that which trains the
individual to face the life in its abysmal depth
of despair, sinking in sorrow and braving
through bad times.
15. • “Gain success by avoiding or defeating
misfortune and see that difficulties do
not cheat you of success”.
