In plain words
But are those who have all these happy? No. Then for what is our education? This education too gives happiness for a while. And some go on making plans: ‘Which degree will bring which job, how much salary we will get in which job.’ Ever since learning began to be pursued for such worldly results, both Viveka and Ānanda have been going out of the system of education. Along with this education, we must also learn certain skills needed for daily life. We must learn home remedies too. Awareness is life. To think that by studying one subject and doing one job we will gain happiness from it is a great mistake. This awareness is to be had from nothing but God alone. A small example.
Prayer to God is the one sādhana that removes sorrow in daily life!
An MBA student did well and won a gold medal. 1st class ‘O’ grade in the MBA. Another girl got 1st class ‘O’ grade in her M.Sc. and won a gold medal too. As soon as these degrees were finished, the girl took a job and the boy took a job. As luck would have it, both worked in the same office, and so a friendship began between them. They married. After a year or two, a child was born. When the child was born, they were overjoyed. The wedding was done, and all was happy. The child was born, and all was happy. But within a few days the child caught a cough and a cold. When the child ran a high fever, this mother got very flustered. Telling him the fever was high, she flustered her husband at the office. The two came in a fluster and looked at the child. Seeing the parents' fluster, the child got flustered too. The two of them together took the child and put him before the doctor.
