The education that does not confer modesty and wisdom (Vinaya and Viveka) is a sheer waste of precious time.  Whatever else you learn or do not learn, equip yourself with the strength that is necessary to be virtuous.  Resist the temptation and the lures of the objective world.  Wisdom is, not the cleverness that is given inordinate value today, but the capacity to see things in their proper proportion.  One must also have the attitude of reverence to the past, and also to the elders who are the repository of spiritual wisdom and experience that one must acquire. To make life sweeter, deny yourself of many desires and you will find that you have become tough enough to bear both good fortune and bad.

"Prayer is more powerful than the military forces. 
If made with a sincere heart, it will certainly be answered." - Baba
