Vidya (true knowledge) impels one to pour into the sacrificial fire one's narrow ego and foster in its place, universal Love, which is the foundation for the superstructure of spiritual victory. Unbounded Love purifies and sanctifies the mind. Let your thoughts centre around God, your feelings and emotions be holy, and your activities be the expression of selfless service. Let the mind, the heart and the hand be thus saturated with goodness. True education must accomplish this task of sublimation. Service rendered to another has to confer full joy in all ways. Vidya must emphasize that in the name of service, no harm, or pain or grief should be inflicted on another.
-Divine Discourse, Vidya Vahini.
