"Of what use is it to honour the Avatar and hold the day when the Avatar took human form as sacred? The Message of the Avatar must be born, must become alive, must grow in you, your heart-that is the Birthday, you have to celebrate. Celebrate the Birthday in your own village. You need not travel long distances to where I physically am! Plant the seeds of Love in your hearts. Jet them grow into trees of Service and shower the sweet fruit of Ananda. Share the Ananda with all. That is the proper way to celebrate the Birthday."

-Bhagavan Baba

 
 

 

Living with God is True Education!






-Bhagavan Baba

 
 

 

You are a part of Society, and your individual welfare is intimately tied up with the welfare of Society as a whole. Hence, you must study not for making money but for the sake of serving Society. Unfortunately, these days, education has been reduced to a business, greedy business in fact. What you have received from Society must be returned back to Society, and in greater measure too. You are able to study because of the infra-structure provided by Society. Having benefited thus, is it proper to forget what you have received and focus on making money? To do so is immoral, indecent, and totally against man's basic nature.

-Bhagavan Baba

 
 

 

Education must transform you into an embodiment of compassion. Gandhi was once feeling very depressed. When an Englishman enquired about the reason for his gloom, Gandhi replied, "I am disturbed by the fact that education today is making people hard-hearted." That is the problem; instead of breeding compassion, education these days is making people stone-hearted. True education must touch the heart, release a torrent of selfless Love, make a person compassionate, and foster Divine feelings. Such education alone is the need of the hour.

-Bhagavan Baba

 
 

 

Education must not be for making a living but for guiding your life along the right path. However, these days, people think of education as a passport to jobs and comfort. The unholy connection between learning and employment must be totally eliminated.

-Bhagavan Baba

 
 

 

True education can be summed up in one word: LOVE, all-encompassing LOVE! A life without Love is worse than death. There is no use in acquiring all kinds of knowledge if there is no Love in the heart. It is Love alone that can save the world.


-Bhagavan Baba
