Samskriti is a way of life. The word Samskriti originating from Samskritam refers to the process of refinement of every object before it is made fit for human use. Samskriti refinement also enhances the value of things. When cotton is transformed into cloth, its value and utility are enhanced. Likewise man should not remain in the state in which he was born. He should manifest his inherent divinity. Students should therefore try to acquire, in addition to academic knowledge; qualities like humility and discrimination which will help them to become full-fledged human personalities as a seed finds fulfilment in a purposeful life leading to perfection through Samskarana, transformation, and yielding the fruits of peace, security and love.
Love is a divine quality in man. But it should be shown not only towards other human beings, but also towards birds, beasts and other living creatures. True Samskriti lies in such expansion of love, giving up narrowness and developing broad-mindedness, which results in real joy for oneself and for the society as well. Thus will human nature be sublimated into divinity. (ICS, pp. 5-6)
