Discrimination enables us to distinguish right from wrong, choose the correct path and judge the importance of various aspects of a given situation. The very same atomic energy which can cause colossal destruction can be constructively used to produce electricity. An educated person should discriminate in such matters and pursue the right course of action. Research and development should not lead to violence and destruction. Anyone endowed with wisdom and discernment will be honoured and admired, even though he may not have wealth or position. A person may be an eminent educationist, prominent scientist, or a multimillionaire, but if he is devoid of insight and discrimination, he can never blossom spiritually; he cannot even distinguish between dharma (righteousness) and adharma (unrighteousness). Therefore, every one of you must acquire wisdom and discrimination without resting on the laurels of intellectual knowledge. You must develop and use these qualities to uplift the country and the world at large.
