Atma vidya (science of the Self) alone can fix the mind in Dharma. The students here will be given a glimpse of that Atma vidya; they will develop a keen desire to know about it. It is that knowledge and desire that will stand them in good stead when they encounter the problems of life. Prahlada told his father, "the father who leads his son to God is the only father who deserves the reverence due to that role." Fathers who lead their sons into the vortex of sense pleasure, the volcanoes of physical passion, the boggy marsh of pride and pomp are unaware of their duties and responsibilities. So too, an educational system that keeps children away from God - the only refuge, the only kinsman, the only guide and guard - is really a system where the blind are engaged in blinding those who depend on them.
