True Education

Reading several books in our adolescence,

Every time we multiply the amount of ignorance.

Bearing top class degrees beside our name,

We have just gained the ephemeral fame.

Explore thy spark of Divine, still hidden,

For the wisdom must flourish within.

As Truth, Righteousness,

Peace, Love and Non-violence.

They are the practical subjects one must strive,

For the ancient culture and heritage to revive.

Truth is the hallmark for those who live,

Righteousness, the path, one must believe.

Which alone begets endless Peace,

That shall emulsify all the sorrow and disease.

Tap the fountain of Love in thy own soul,

Remembering that God is fire, and we are coal.

To become one with the flame,

We should live  up to His name.

Like how Buddha realized through Non-violence,

 By hearing God's command in deep silence.

Without fail Swami shall guide,

Turning every student into Buddha, if we abide.

Bhagawan preaches the subject of liberation,

Where lies the whole essence of true education.
