What we need today is not a new system of education. Nor do we need a new social system. Such changes will not serve to solve the problems we face. We need today men and women who are pure in mind and heart. In a society lacking in purity of mind and integrity of character, noble-minded human beings will be few. Without spirituality, there will be neither purity, nor morality, nor integrity. Where there are no men and women of noble character, the state will not flourish. No country in the world has so many races, creeds, and languages as the sacred land of Bharat. Bharat shines forth as a garden with its many races, creeds, languages, and cultures. The varied manners and cultures contribute to the multi-faceted brilliance of the nation. The magnificence of this diversity is beyond description. Bharat is the home of people who cherished Love as the way of the Spirit and Truth as the breath of their life. Unfortunately, lost in the pursuit of worldly, physical, and material objects, people have forgotten their basic divinity as human beings. It is in this context that the educational system has to be examined. – Divine Discourse, Jul 19, 1994
