In plain words
The art of the elephant's ear, the art of the cow's ear, the art of the birds: Rāvaṇa had learnt them all. At one place in the Rāmāyaṇa, Vālmīki described Rāvaṇa as the greatest of fools. Why did he call a man who had learnt so many arts the greatest of fools? Lava and Kuśa themselves asked Vālmīki. “Guruji, Rāmacandra had learnt many arts. You say He was a great and noble soul, a great jñāni. Rāvaṇa learnt more arts than He did, and you call him a fool. What is the inner meaning of this?” they asked. Vālmīki said, “Rāvaṇa was a learned man. Rāma was a jñāni.” That is, what we must enquire into here is the difference between learning and Jñāna. Rāvaṇa was one who had gained his learning from acquaintance with books. Rāma, by practice, mastered His senses, gave up every pleasure, and for the good of the world put His own nature into practice. “He is a jñāni,” he said. Learning used for selfishness and one's own gain is no learning at all. We must use this learning for the good of the world and the good of mankind. We must study seeking the welfare of the world. Rāvaṇa was the one who sought his own welfare. Rāma was the one who sought the welfare of the world. So, to protect mankind, to make the race grow into an ideal race, one must practise what one has learnt, hand it on to others, and so find Ānanda oneself.
Students, embodiments of Prema! As long as they are here, all the children are very good. Children are My very life. All My property is you. For your sake, to bring you onto the highest path, to make you pure, I have given you My body, My life, My blood, and tried every way there is. I have no selfish motive. I have sought no gain for Myself. The children must be set on the right path and made into ideal citizens of Bhārata tomorrow. But you are not able to recognise that principle of Prema. You who have not experienced the Prema of even one mother: how can you experience the Prema of a thousand mothers? That is not possible. How many efforts I am making for your sake, no one but Swami knows at all. But I hope that you will recognise even an atom of it, put it into practice at least to some extent, and live in the world outside as people who set an example.
