Every little face I can see here came into this world, trailing
clouds of glory from heaven. And suddenly the little angel finds himself filled
with doubts, fears and confusion.
Education is what removes our doubts and fears; what makes us
happy and peaceful; what makes us better human beings. The teacher comes,
removes the darkness and suddenly we find how beautiful this world is. And
experience is often our best teacher.
But gaining knowledge alone doesn’t make one educated. Education
is complete only when we learn how to live, how to hope, how to pray and how to
behave to others.
Once a man was walking in the desert when a voice called him and
said, “Pick up some pebbles and put them in your pocket, and tomorrow you will
be both sorry and glad.”
The man obeyed and the next morning when he reached into his
pocket, he found diamonds and rubies and emeralds. And he was both glad and
sorry. Glad that he had taken some – sorry that he hadn’t taken more. The same
is true with education.
