There is no limit to knowledge

Education however, is the accumulation of information in a specific way. You need to understand education cannot be given, it can only be taken, consciously, and with interest. The fundamental need for education is creating interest. Once there is an interest, learning is automatic. What you study with interest stays with you forever.

But education, learning and knowledge alone aren’t enough. One has to follow the following three principles to put that knowledge to best use. 

We pursue education to learn more and become scholars. In their quest for education, many are perhaps scholars already. But knowledge should not be used to gain power or control over others. What is most important is not being just a scholar but a pillar for the future, for yourself and others. And who is a pillar? He is a person who uses his knowledge to bring about a positive shift in society. To raise it from poverty to prosperity, from illness to wellness and from problems to peace. 

It does not matter how many people believe in you and how much they believe in you. For any progress in life, what is important is how much you believe in yourself. And every one of us deserves to believe in ourselves. This belief serves one well when we compete with experts, which everyone will, at some point. Your self-belief helps you realise that you might be novice today but that does not mean you cannot be an expert; because every expert too was once a novice. With self-belief, you know you will be an expert where you desire. 

What’s more important than knowledge? It is having a destination or a clear vision. Without a clear destination, your education, knowledge and power would be directionless. When you have a destination in mind there is no choice but to perform the to the best of your ability; not waiting for the best resources to be available but doing the best with the resources available. 

We’ve all heard that ‘Sky is the limit’ but for the one with the decision to become a pillar and with a clear destination in mind, even the sky is not the limit.

Wishing you a life full of peace, health and happiness. Aham Brahmasmi!!
