It is necessary to practice spirituality to reduce the misery in life! – Sadguru Dr Charudatta Pingale, National Guide, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti
Vallabhgad (Faridabad) : No truly educated student would ever get the thought that their life is full of misery. Also, it is worth introspecting if I have received the right education if I get thoughts that my life is a punishment! If we do not study spirituality, then our life will feel miserable. Therefore, in order to reduce the misery, one should study spirituality and more importantly practice it, said Sadguru Dr Charudatta Pingale, the National Guide of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti. He was guiding the attendees in a lecture organized for teachers and students of the Balaji College here.
The attendees included Chief Director of Balaji College, Shri. Jagdish Chaudhary, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s North India Liaison Head Shri. Shrikrishna Singhal, Y.M.C.A. University Professor Shri. Arvind Gupta, Professor of ‘University of Rajasthan’ Shri. S.K. Gupta and Professor of Balaji College Dr Chandramohan. Many students of Balaji Pharmacy and Balaji B.Ed College were also present. The program was inaugurated with lighting the ceremonial lamp and prayers to Shri Saraswati Devi.
While explaining the main purpose of education Sadguru Dr Pingale said,
1. Most of the students think that after getting higher education, I should get a job in a big establishment, I should earn a lot of money, a nice car and a bungalow, and if I have all these amenities, then my life will be happier. Will this kind of material education really bring happiness to your life?
2. Many think that if we have degrees from Harvard or Cambridge, we can do something for the country. If we get more money than we can dream off our life will be happier; But if we really want to be happy, we have to study happiness and sorrow. We need to understand what happiness is.
3. If we get a higher education, and yet do not get a satisfactorily employed then this education is the cause of our misery. So if we understand the original purpose of life and make the right effort, we can definitely succeed.
