________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir lived there as the family members of the guru, enjoyed the affection and contributed to the house-hold by performing different duties in the abode of guru. The main principle of teaching and learning was humility. Inculcating and in biding the importance of these virtues since to be the main aim object of the contemporary educational system. When one goes through the convocation speech in Taittiriya Upanişad the most important aspect comes forth. This aspect is one should do corrct in behaviour, that behaviour should not be contradictory to the existing society and its ways and customs. One should not forget once duty towards parents, teacher, society and the respectable. It is very clear that the knowledgeable and knowledge are given the highest place, since it is said that, 'Do not neglect truthfulness, Do not neglect duties, Do not neglect your well-beings or health.... You should give with faith,.... You should give with sympathy..... Further if (even) once a doubt assail you with regard to the action of some one or doubt assail you with regard to the conduct of some one..... Finally, if you come in contact with such as are rebuked (for their conduct), see whether or not the brāhmaṇs before you are of right judgment, are fit and such as will stand the test, not harsh but conscientious in their duties; therefore, you should behave with them just as they would behave with those (or their ilk). (Taitti. adhyāya-1/11) Even, if one has any doubt, regarding any action or ritual, one should always consult the experts in the society, one should always follow the right examples.' All the thoughts point only truth, the truth that is the great immense of knowledge and the right and humble behaviour in society. Even today these two things help never ever did not lose their priority nor will they. Reference : The Upanişads, F. Max Muller, Part-1, P. lxv 1. 1.
