education means development of the soul, development of life, development of society and of the whole of humanity.
Scholarship
Scholarhip does not come by reading voluminous books. It comes through the understanding and realisation of life, though it is a rare achievement.
Purpose of Education

True pleasure of life means working not as a slave but as a master. True education should train you not to escape and run away from the adverse situations of life but to face them and mould them in your favour.
