Points: Preparation for life — A student’s debt to society — Years of idealism.
There is a saying in Sanskrit that a student should concentrate wholly on studies. But in the modern age the old principle no longer holds good and a hook-worm is not regarded as an ideal student. A student-life is, after all, an apprenticeship of life itself. Books alone cannot give us the knowledge we need for future life.
Harmonious development of body, mind and spirit—that is true education, and this should be the aim of every student. He should show interest for sports and athletics, arts and music, social service and charity. In our country where a large number of people are poor and illiterate, every student has to do something for others. A student may join N.C.C. or N.S.S. just as he may join Boy Scouts or Bratachari. He should work for the betterment of the community. Every student should bear in mind that he owes a debt to his or her society.
Students should read the country’s history and visit places of historical interest. They will thus acquire a sense of patriotism. A student ought to be imbued with idealism. Idealism alone can help him rise above all pettiness. A student will, of course, think of his career. But he should not be self-centered.
