You must not forget the fact that God is in perceptible form in all beings. Service rendered to any being is service offered to God. This has to be the chief goal of all who are educated. Nara is Narayana (Man is God). Every single act of yours has to be elevated as an act of service to God. You must not only serve those who help you but also those who harm you. This attitude makes the service doubly holy. Serving those who do service to us is but a natural reaction. Serving those who harm us is the greater virtue. For, this latter course of action involves deeper understanding of your best interest and an alert sense of time, place and circumstance. Education must confer and cultivate these qualities.
