He had no schooling at all. He had only a saṃskāra joined with worldly knowledge. This too was his saṃskāra. This itself was his education. With every person he brought harmony, with fine, sweet… … words, to their satisfaction and peaceably. This harmon… … a great saṃskāra. The second son entered modern education. He … into this modern education, but he went on … all his time, wasting it with friends and in bad habits.

You have only an acquaintance with books …, but your general knowledge is zero.
