GURUNATHAR’S MESSAGE ASHWINI 28-07-2005
I would like to answer a question: “Why do well educated, intelligent, scholars in their fields sometimes commit major sins? Even the sins which the uneducated are afraid to commit do not deter these privileged people. Then what is education for?” .
It is easy to answer this. Education is of two kinds. Wisdom, discipline and goodness come with the first kind. The second type consists only of information which includes statistical details.
When people write and talk with this knowledge in the absence of true wisdom and intelligence it becomes ‘empty knowledge’. I cannot accept this as true education.There are uneducated people who follow the straight path with discipline and wisdom. Some scholars who are highly educated take to evil ways and use their educational skills with twisted thinking. However,there are some who are educated and good.
While there are some educated people who are evil ,what I would like to stress here is there can be great people amongst the uneducated.
