Thought for the day..... from a divine source...

Thought for the day, March 13th 2014

What is the objective of 'studying'? 
You must study to become steady. 
When you have a steady mind, you can prosper. 
Your mind should not move like the pendulum of a clock. 

See to it that the Divine Love in your heart is steady. 
The goal of education should not be to just acquire 
theoretical knowledge but to practically apply it in your life. 
Your education should be for life and not for a mere living. 

Birds and animals lead life without 'studying', 
but your education must result in you developing 
a strong and good character. In this life, 
the only high aspiration you must have is for God. 

Many people collect a lot of information 
from newspapers and other sources, 
trying to find out what happened in Germany, USA, etc. 
These are good to know, but not very important. 

The aim of education should be to 
concentrate your mind onto a higher ideal 
and not merely to become like a library 
which is a conglomeration of all kinds of facts.
