Original
What is the mistake many often knowingly or unknowingly commit and continue to indulge in? What is the way out? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today.
In Vidya, “Vid” stands for illumination and “Ya” for that. Therefore, that which gives illumination and light is Vidya (education). That which gives you light and sheds your ignorance and that which gives you wisdom and superior knowledge can alone be called Vidya. From time immemorial, our country has been the leader of all the countries in the world. It had enjoyed the position of leadership in this world, and that is the kind of sacredness that we have enjoyed in the past. Because there are no leaders today who can set an example of such an ideal life and who can hand on such ideals to other countries, we have fallen on bad times. The main reason for this is that in the people, there is no co-ordination between the words that they utter and the acts that they do. You are all the future citizens of Bharath. The entire prosperity and welfare of the country rests on your shoulders. Your lives and your hearts are pure and sacred. They are unwavering. I am hoping that you will not allow the confusion and anarchy prevailing in the country to confuse your pure, unwavering, and sacred minds; and I am hoping that you will develop into ideal citizens of this country.
- Divine Discourse, May 20, 1976.

True education is that which destroys narrow-mindedness, develops equality and ultimately leads to world peace. Students should acquire such education and serve the country. - BABA
