After birth, as one grows, one develops association with relatives, friends, teachers and others. Through these numerous relationships, one’s human qualities develop and blossom. You must show your gratitude to all by striving for their well-being. Without these associations, the lone individual would remain at an animal level. If you confine your interests to a few subjects, it will result in narrow-mindedness. You must not be restrictive in acquiring skills that help you earn a livelihood. In fact, you must learn about life itself, how it should be lived and the basic goal of life. Learning how to earn an income is not a great thing; all the evils that we see in the world today stem from a perverted system of education. An educated person must control one’s senses. Education that helps one discover one’s spiritual essence is real education. Learn how to live as a worthy human being. (Divine Discourse, “My Dear Students”, Vol 2, Ch 8, Jun 15, 1989) -BABA .
