In plain words
This is not the chief aim of education. God, who gave the belly, will not fail to give food. Man, who should be searching for the Ātma, is striving to search for food. In today's world three parts in four appear as Kabandhas, not as educated people.

In the world there are two kinds of path. There are also two kinds of authority. One is responsibility, the other is duty. This is Right and Responsibility. But today man stretches out his neck only for his rights, and presses forward fighting for them in many ways. But he does not try to recognise his responsibility. In moral, physical, religious, spiritual, scientific and economic matters alike, the man of today does not try in the least to recognise his responsibility. A high post is wanted. A good life must be had. The salary must be higher. With desires like these he is wasting his life. But ‘Am I doing work equal to the salary I receive? Am I carrying out my duty? Am I keeping to my responsibility?’ He finds no time to ask himself these questions. Not only in worldly affairs but in the spiritual field too, man makes mistakes like these and goes astray. ‘I want God, I want Mukti, I want my welfare looked after,’ man hopes. But he makes no effort equal to it. ‘I have no time at all for bhajan. I cannot do sādhanas.
