Education is not merely reading a number of books...

Education is not merely reading a number of books,
which confers only bookish knowledge.
Why do you run after these books?

This bookish knowledge will enable
you merely to eke out a livelihood.
But, there is something beyond this
bookish knowledge and livelihood,
which all of you have to pursue.

One may acquire a lot of wealth and
become a millionaire with the help of
bookish knowledge and high academic degrees.
But, ultimately, people will give value to
a realised soul and not to the one who
has accumulated enormous wealth.

As long as the body is present,
people will refer to a person as "so and so;
a very rich person; a king, etc."
