And the one whowants to gain knowledge leaves the luxuries. How will any one get knowledge ifhe/she wants to lead a easy life? And how will one get to live a easy life who islooking for knowledge?Knowledge cannot be gained leading a lavish life-style. In ancient Bharat the‘Gurukula’ system was designed in such a way that students in their student lifeshould gain maximum knowledge by staying away from all the pleasures of thematerialistic world.AmrutvachanEducation should be Man-Making education. A negativeeducation or any training that is based on negation, is worsethan death. It should be able to create Shradha in the studentto all life (parents, society, nation etc). Education is not theamount of information that is put into a brain and runs riotthere, undigested, all life. We must have life-building, manmaking,character-making, assimilation of ideas. Educationis the manifestation of the perfection already in man.- Swami VivekanandaHindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS)5
