All Education is a Zero.
Without Satya, Dharma, Shanti, Prema,
The Value of Charity is a Zero.
Sans Satya, Dharma, Shanti, Prema,
The value of all jobs is a zero.
Bereft of Satya, Dharma, Shanti, Prema,
The value of all meritorious deeds is zero.
For the mansion of eternal Religion (Sanathana Dharma)
these four values are indeed the four foundation walls.
What more can I tell you
Oh! Students, endowed with noble virtues.’
We will be betraying the very cause of education if we do not cultivate the four human values. The people of today do not know the value of sacrifice (tyaga). Only Tyaga, in course of time becomes yoga (spirituality). (BA, pp. 125-126)
