Why and how should an educated person contribute to the welfare of society? Bhagawan lovingly explains and inspires us today.

Education is not meant to be sold or used for begging jobs. It is meant to be shared. It grows when it is shared. What is the use of having a high education bereft of virtues? What is the value of such education? Character is more important than education. Students! There is nothing wrong with acquiring a job after the completion of your education. But at the same time, you should see to it that your education is put to use for the benefit of society. You should always keep in view the welfare of society. Take part in the service of society. What does service to society really mean? Do not consider it below your dignity to render seva (service), thinking that you are highly educated. At the same time, it is not necessary for you to sweep the roads in the name of seva. Whatever is your job, if you perform it to the satisfaction of your conscience, that itself is seva. Suppose you are doing business, do not resort to unjust and unrighteous means just to earn money. Rather, you should utilise your earnings in performing sacred tasks.
