You must understand the distinction between Education and Educare. Education is information-oriented. Educare is transformation-oriented. Education is limited to physical and mental Levels. Just as the rivers like Krishna and Godavari have their sources in the ocean, Education has its roots in Educare. Educare is related to our inner feelings and purity of heart. Our speech, song and way of life (mata, pata and bata) should originate from the heart. That is the essence of Educare. Only those endowed with the practical knowledge and wisdom will be able to understand and appreciate the concept of Educare. Even if you acquire a number of degrees, if you lack purity in your heart, you cannot be called truly educated.
