________________ True Education True education is the light of life. There can be no darkness of self-interest around true education. The truly educated young man fights not for his own needs but for the needs of the public, not for his own honour and prestige but for the honour and prestige of the whole nation. 3. Education Importance of High Thoughts The honour of man lies in carrying the torch-light of high thoughts. Nothing great can be achieved only by the power of industry and strength. In industry and strength bullocks and asses are certainly stronger than man. But do you not know that they have to be yoked and driven to work? Therefore they are called animals. Without the light of high thoughts man will be no better than animal. He will have to be driven to his work like asses. Such a man has no right to live in human society. Aim of Education Education does not mean merely reading of difficult and voluminous books, or getting high univrsity degrees.
