In Swamiji's words 'the success of education and educational
thinking is in fulfilling the great task of national
integration'.
There is widespread misunderstanding that spiritual
pursuit is meant only for the old and the recluse. The vast
treasure-trove of inner resources that can be harnessed by
any one to achieve excellence in any walk of life, remains
unnoticed due to sheer ignorance. Did not Krishna invoke the
Upanishadic wisdom in the war field of Kurukshetra to enable
Arjuna fight the righteous war successfully? Far from taking
man away from the world, the pursuit of the "Subject
Wisdom" makes him adept in whatever field he is
involved.
Sannyaasa is wrongly regarded as a mystic wandering life.
In truth, Sannyaasa stands for exclusive dedication
to the pursuit and dissemination of knowledge.
Sannyaasins in our land were like moving universities -
disseminating spiritual and value education throughout the
country. They did it out of their urge to work for the
welfare of the world. The mightiest educative literature
like Ramayana and Mahabharata, which forged the cultural
backbone of the entire country, came from Sannyaasins and
Ascetics.
Swamiji felt that the abode of a Sannyaasin - an Ashram -
must verily be a centre of learning. Its mission should be
to expose people to their own Subject dimension and
its unlimited potential. That would promote better
understanding of the science of life and ensure for the
society long-term prosperity and advancement. This would set
right the alarming aberration caused by the inadequate
modern education system and over-indulgent materialism.
