Sathya Sai Baba The World-Avatar Teaching and Revelations

that it is of an argumentative type not helping man to become wise.
Why submit yourself to such education? You should really go through
such education as will lead you to immortality. When you ask the question:
“Who is the blind man in the world?” then the answer comes that
an educated person who in the spite of his education does wrong
things is the blind man. There is no meaning whatsoever in feeling
proud that you are educated persons.
The only kind of knowledge which can be called real education is that
which enables you to open your heart and reveals to you the nature of
Atman, your Divine nature. Education which does not enable you to
understand the Divine aspect or control your sensory organs cannot
be termed education at all. Education should give you Divine feeling
and Divine power and enable you to understand the daily events which
occur in man's life and the permanent truth which links man's life to the
environment and community around him. True education is composed
of character, truth and conduct. Character, truth, conduct and ability to
sacrifice are a must in any education and if what you learn is devoid
of them, it become worthless. True education gives you humility and
from humility you get the deservedness from which you will get wealth
and from wealth you will get righteousness, and from right conduct you
will get happiness in this temporal world as well as in the spiritual
world.
Spiritual law is not something which has been created by man. Man's
ideas have not got the authority to give shape to or change the form
of Divine law. You can only follow Divine law, it is not something that
you can change. Divine order has been in existence much earlier than
you and therefore you have to follow the Divine order; it is not going to
change for you. (...)
How can one get peace by holding the atom bomb in one’s hand and
simply shouting that peace is wanted in the world. So if you always
practice an immoral life and keep on shouting that Divine conduct is to
be protected, how is Divine law going to be protected?
Students! Your hearts are very sacred and pure. In this pure and unwavering
heart you have to feel the sacred aspect as Divinity. Today
you are all wearing white clothes and you are all assembled in Whitefield.
This means that just as you are wearing white clothes externally,
you must make your hearts pure and white internally. You should remember
that the characteristic feature of education that you have acquired
here is to make you clean and pure both internally and externally.
All of you who will become the future citizens of this country have
