The cultivation of viveka (discrimination) is the chief aim of education; the promotion of virtuous habits, the strengthening of dharma – these are to be attended to, not the acquisition of polish or gentlemanliness, or the collection of general information and the practice of common skills. Be fixed in the consciousness that yourself is the immortal atma, which is indestructible, which is holy, pure, and divine. That will give you unshakable courage and strength. Then, you must develop mutual love and respect. Tolerate all kinds of persons and opinions, all attitudes and peculiarities. The schools, home, and society are all training grounds for tolerance. At school, teachers and pupils must be aware of their duties and rights. The relationship must be based on love, not fear. Only the atmosphere of love can guarantee happy cooperation and concord. Above all, be good, honest, and well-behaved. That will make the university degrees more desirable and valuable. Do not attach undue value to the passing of examinations, for if you do so, you are apt to get terribly depressed when you fail! – Divine Discourse, Feb 02, 1958
