Peace & Righteousness

Salam Kasih
Sisya: "Guru, what should be the priority of education and learning? "

Guru: "dear all
While studying other things, you should learn the secret of shanti (peace) also. This opportunity should not be missed, for that ...is the wisdom which will save you. For without Peace, life is a nightmare.

The present system of education aims at making you breadwinners and citizens, but it does not give you the secret of a happy life; namely discrimination between the unreal and the real, which is the genuine training you need. The cultivation of viveka (discrimination) is the chief aim of education; the promotion of virtuous habits and the strengthening of

Dharma (righteousness) - these are to be attended to; not the acquisition of polish or gentlemanliness, or collection of general information and the practice of common skills.
