WISDOM IS AS IMPORTANT AS EDUCATION
Some problems of the society need immediate resolution. Only a minimal requirement of education is fulfilled through the medium of existing educational institutions. The importance of education, however, can never be over-emphasised. Wisdom (Vidya) on the other hand gives one true knowledge (Gyan) and ignorant person is akin to a blind man. Wisdom is the biggest treasure one may aspire to acquire. It is believed to be the source of nectar (Amrit). However, the benefits accrue only when one attempts to utilize wisdom for discretion in actions and development of virtues, character and personality to make the best use of one's talents commensurate with cultural needs.
It is to be kept in mind that the above mentioned attributes are the foundation stones for development of human personality and in turn, of prosperity of society and the nation. The elites of the world have always used education as the prime tool for shaping their society to enthuse their countrymen for bringing in desired changes in thought, character and behavioural pattern of the common man.
The ancient educational system was formulated with a wider perspective. Its objective was not only to provide knowledge about means of livelihood and their proper utilization but at the same time, it helped in bringing about a total change in thoughts and actions of man in the fields of natural resource management and human behaviour. In other words it provided an awakening, awareness, discretion or prudence.
