True education, therefore, is that which directs and counsels the mind and intellect of man towards the earning of Sathwic happiness. Of course, it can be secured only by untiring effort. The scriptures declare: 'Happiness cannot be acquired through happiness' (Na sukhaath labhyathe sukham). By undergoing unhappiness alone can happiness be won. This Truth has to be instilled through Vidya or education. When man knows of the Ananda that Sathwic happiness can confer, the Vidya too will be found easy and palatable.

Having been born as humans, all efforts must be directed to acquiring this Amrtha Vidya (Education for Immortality) along with earth-bound material-centred vidya, for it is only Amrtha Vidya that can reveal the Atma and enable man to experience the Atmananda.
