Real Education....

The heart is referred to as "Hrudaya" (Hrud + daya), meaning that the heart is the seat of compassion. Real education is that, which fosters virtues, morality, truth, compassion, discipline and duty. It is not enough to be merely intelligent. Education must confer wisdom that flows from the heart and not just knack or cunningness... Set apart some time for service. Be balanced. You should neither study continuously nor play all the time. Do not slide into lazy habits; laziness must be avoided at all costs. Excessive talking must also be avoided. Too much talk diminishes memory and dulls intelligence. Therefore, talk only when you must, and speak sweetly. When you talk, try to be always courteous and never fail to respect your parents. Your actions must always be based on love for you to be called as an educated person.
