“The Bharat’s education system, we always respect, we always give our…”

The Bharat’s education system, we always respect, we always give our devotion and respect to the knowledge. It is free. Economically, it is free, but psychologically you need commitment. In the West, education is psychologically free, but economically you need to pay. In the East, education economically it is free, but psychologically you need to be committed. Education should be given only to a person who wants it.

Actually if you see, in Vedic system, education is not only free; the guru is supposed to give food and stay for the disciple. Still now, Vedic universities, still now, the Vedic schools—there are so many Vedic schools in Bharat—the students are given food and stay, and they are taught the Veda, taught, given the knowledge, given the scripture. At least I can say, hundred thousand ashrams are there in Bharat where food and stay, everything is given free and spiritual education is given. Spiritual education is given.

In Bharat, you need only psychological commitment. You don’t need economical commitment. That is why education goes to a right person. Education goes to right person. Educ…knowledge should not be given for money. If it is given for money, it goes to the person who is not interested. If he has got money, that’s enough; immediately he can start putting, adding guineas [??? 2m 22 sec.]. Please understand, when you have money but not the commitment, psychological commitment, all your beginnings [??? 2m 33 sec.] will be pseudo. You will sell your brain to [???2m 39sec.] , that’s all. You will not have deep knowledge. You will not have complete wisdom.

There are many electrical engineers who don’t know how to change fuse. There are many civil engineers who can’t build even two-feet wall. You don’t know what is happening. There are many mechanical engineers who will have big certificate, but they can’t even put one screw, they can’t put one bolt, they can’t do even a simple job. It needs psychological commitment.

Why do you think Bharatn doctors are respected so much? Because they are interested in their knowledge. People are afraid to give their body to a person who is not interested in the knowledge.

Small story: A doctor. Patient goes to a doctor and says, “Doctor, I have wheezing trouble, please help me.”

The doctor says, “Go and sit under that cold water tap for one hour and come back.”

The patient was shocked. He says, “If I sit under the cold water tap for one hour, I’ll have asthma.”

Doctor says, “That is what I wanted, because I know only how to treat asthma. [Laughter] I don’t know how to treat wheezing. I left it in choice [??? 4m 17sec.], I left that in choice in my educa…in my exams. I left that in choice.”

You can’t say you left something in choice. That is not [4m 25 sec] to say, the ultimate education, the higher level education can be given only to a person who is interested, who is interested. In the East, the education needs psychological commitment, not economical commitment. The Western education needs economical commitment. Psychological commitment is up to you. That is why the scripture’s emphasis on experience, the emphasis on experience. Only when you have psychological commitment you will have experience.
