Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - February 18, 2024
Narration
Translated
How can we ensure that education helps us blossom? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us by giving us a classic maxim!
There are two aspects of Vidya (learning) that you have to master; Vijnana - understanding the world around us, science: and also Prajnana - the higher learning, the art of controlling the inner feelings and the many layers of Consciousness. Benefactors and beneficiaries you are in the educational field, and so, listen to this: Each student has a watch on his wrist. And, you look at the watch at least a hundred times a day. Well, learn from the watch a great lesson. When you watch the watch, remember the five letters of the word, W-A-T-C-H; each is giving you a fine lesson for life: W tells you, ‘Watch your Words’; A warns you, ‘Watch your Action’; T indicates, 'Watch your Thoughts’; C advises, 'Watch your Character’; and H declares, 'Watch your Heart.' When you are consulting your watch, imbibe this lesson that the watch is imparting. Â

People devoid of wisdom and discrimination can never blossom spiritually, even though they may be an eminent educationist, a prominent scientist, or a multimillionaire.
