Only brāhmaṇas, kṣatriyas, those who are being trained up as brāhmaṇa and kṣatriya, they should be given book education. Otherwise practical. You see how the things are being done. Bās. A weaver, he sees "kat-kat-kat." He's got it.

Bhagatjī: First the gurukula children are there. We have to see to the comforts of the gurukula children.

Prabhupāda: Their comforts first. They have done very nice. (Hindi conversation) Brahmacārī gurukule vasan dāntaḥ guror hitan ([[Vanisource:SB 7.12.1|SB 7.12.1]]). (Hindi conversation) . . . university, but producing hippies. (Hindi) Library in your . . . It is all nonsense. Who is going to read the books, big, big library? It is simply waste of time. Train them how to become self-controlled, how to become God conscious, how to become humble, obedient. This is required. And so-called education and last result is to become a hippie, what is the use? Simply waste of time. Education is meant for the first-class men. A kṛṣana does not require education. He should see how to plow, and he'll learn. This mistrī does not require any . . . He should work with other mistrī, and he'll learn. Architecture, this, that, so many . . . Why? Why waste your time? This nice building has been constructed by these laborers. They have got training by seeing, by practice. They did not require university education. Of course, guide is there, of course. So these big, big universities, allowing everyone to come and join school, college—simply wasting time and unemployment. Unemployment. This is not required. Only brāhmaṇas, kṣatriyas, those who are being trained up as brāhmaṇa and kṣatriya, they should be given book education. Otherwise practical. You see how the things are being done. Bās. A weaver, he sees "kat-kat-kat." He's got it. Does it require M.A. Ph.D.? Simply waste of time. And that is going on. I don't want that, for "kat-kat-kat," M.A. Ph.D. (Bengali) "To kill a mosquito, bring a gun." (laughter) Nonsense education. I don't like that education. All right.

Bhagatjī: (Hindi)

Guṇārṇava: We'll show you the classrooms, Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Prabhupāda: No, no, he's young man. Anyway, by Kṛṣṇa's grace everything has been done very nice, by endeavor of Bhagatjī. (break)

Indian man (1): (Hindi)

Prabhupāda: (Hindi) (break)

Guṇārṇava: I'll take the cows later on. I'll take the cows over to Puryanna's. He's out at the gośala. We'll need a lot of milk now.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Milk must be there.
