Words of Wisdom-3: "The Drawbacks of Mere Book-Learning"

Modern education is highly advanced.... Yet, the day to day problems in the society have not diminished. Miseries of the masses are piling up. Hypocrisy, corruption, beastliness and such vices are eating into the human race. It is totally disheartening to notice the educated and the executive class falling prey to darker vices. These hard facts force us to stop and think a while. Yes, education centred on mere book-learning and bread-winning cannot be the panacea. - Srimat Swami Purushottamanandaji Maharaj
