WISDOM OF VEDAS

Only education can help us to understand the knowledge of the universe, which is alike, an ocean. It enlightens everyone's minds.

It is because of education that one can absorb knowledge. The best method to imbibe maximum knowledge is reading and self study and as a result of knowledge, the mind becomes enlightened. We should regularly study books having a lot of knowledge because it is through study only that the mind is filled with good thoughts, that inspire us to seek good company which is equally beneficial in acquiring knowledge. This is the sure way for growth of the mind and also to acquire eternal happiness and peace.

The scholar is successful in vanquishing all his enemies. The scholar has a solution for every problem and crisis, may it be disease or an external enemy. Because he is endowed with wit and grit he surmounts all his problems successfully. He controls the fickleness of the mind by reciting mantras and eventually stabilizes the mind. He gives the right advice at the right time to the right people. In this way we should all strive to acquire as much knowledge possible because on attainment of total knowledge we shall be able to find a solution to all our problems.
scholar becomes a benefactor and gives knowledge. When a scholar is donating knowledge the ultimate aim of his knowledge is welfare of one and all. Because of knowledge, the darkness of ignorance ceases and we tread on the path of progress. We should imbibe all the knowledge and the merits from the scholars and should engage in activities that result in the welfare one and all.
Always engage in all good deeds. One shall reap fruits on basic if the actions performed. Good deeds shall undoubtedly sooner or later fetch good fruits. People who engage in good deeds are always praised and respected. People who do so shall are blessed with all the desired things. Therefore it is imperative that one should thoroughly abstain from bad actions.
After realizing the truth do not become indolent. The person who strives and attain the most divine form of knowledge should never while away his time. He should engage in performing great deeds. Knowledge leads to light and light leads us on the path of success and progress. We should therefore attain knowledge of the self and think of the welfare of others. Lethargy leads to failure therefore one should abhor it vehemently.

The fingers of the scholars are always engaged in constructive activities. He who is always assiduous and diligent is always a scholarly figure. Such a person seldom likes to waste his time. He engages in work and strives for perfection. We all should imbibe these qualities and become alike the scholars
Do not stay in the company of those who abhor knowledge. The people who abhor knowledge always dwell in ignorance. Good company can make a man and bad company can ruin a man. During the rains, the drop of water falls in and loses its existence and on the contrary the drop of water falls in conch and assumes the form of a pearl. That is why people who desire knowledge should refrain from people who believe that ignorance is bliss.
One should not listen to anything bad. One should not listen and speak anything bad. By listening to bad things and contemplating on them, the person can engage in bad deeds. That is why one should refrain from listening to anything that is bad and negative.
