Which is the right place to acquire education and what should that education grant us? Bhagawan lovingly explains and inspires us today!
Do not think that the education which you should get is available only at colleges or schools. Education should be obtained from all the world over. It can be got from a workshop. It can be got from a farm. It can be got from a profession or trade. Even moving in the market can give you education. All aspects of life can impart education. You must regard the world itself as a big university. From the time you get up from your bed till the time you go to sleep again, you are using your education for earning the pittance of a livelihood. If you cannot use your education to be near the feet of the Lord, what is the purpose of all this knowledge? You must have God in your heart and recognise all living beings as equal. You must make every effort to overcome the four obstacles, namely lust, anger, attachment, and greed. So long as these thieves are in your home, there is no certainty that you will get the treasure of wisdom. But after driving away these thieves, you will get a bigger thief into your home and that thief is God Himself. That is why He has been called “Chitta-chora” or the One who steals your heart.

Wherever you stay or wherever you go, that very place provides you with some kind of education or the other. - BABA
