Passage 11

In English

The prime aim of education is to foster humanism. The hallmark of a truly educated person is humility. ‘’ Love, sacrifice, and cleanliness are the three limbs that are important for humanism. In the army, we find many cadres like soldier, sentry, sergeant, etc. But they all have two things in common– parade and firing. Only those who know them well are fit to be in the army. Similarly, we have a variety of avocations and professions as also a variety of religions and sects. But, among all, the fittest are those who possess the two qualities of love and sacrifice. These are like two eyes of man, like two wings of a bird, and like that of two wheels of a cart. Divinity has no particular shape or form that can be perceived easily. It cannot be formed into a shape like a pot created by a potter. The divinity that is naturally present in everybody has to be realized by means of contemplation and (spiritual practice). God’s grace is possible only through our good qualities and love, not by any other means.
