- They are proud of education, proud of learning, advancement, everything, all right, complete. But real knowledge - "Do you know God?" - that he cannot explain
- They are simply busy seeing to their own remuneration in dollars and cents. How, then, can they lead the mass of people to the right path of self-realization? Thus one must hear submissively from a dhira in order to attain actual education
- They do not know that they are going to hell. That is rascaldom. By their so-called scientific advancement, philosophy, education, they are going to hell. That they do not know. Therefore they are rascals
- They require education for spiritual understanding, tad-vijnanartham, not this vijnanartham, this material knowledge. It doesn't require. It is simply a waste of time. This modern university education is simply a waste of time
- They want to make permanent settlement here but forget that "Any moment, I shall be kicked out of this situation. I shall have to accept another situation." That is the lack of education in the modern civilization
- Thinking of Krsna does not require any riches or any high parentage or any beauty or any education. So we have to develop such Krsna consciousness

- Those puffed up by a high birth, wealth, education and personal beauty unfortunately do not care for developing Krsna consciousness, nor does the Supreme Personality of Godhead care about all these
- Those who are devas, godly, their lusty desire is controlled, restricted. Therefore this varnasrama, four varnas and four asramas, this is education how to control this lusty desire. That is required

- Unless there is sufficient education on these principles - dharma, artha, kama, moksa - you cannot have peaceful life in human society. That is not... That is animal society
V
- Varnasrama college especially meant for the brahmana, ksatriya and vaisya. Those who are not fit for education, they are sudras. That's all. Or those who are reluctant to take education - sudra means. That's all. They should assist the higher class
- Veda means knowledge, and anta means last stage, or end. Everything has got some end. So you are being educated. You are taking education. Where it shall end? That is called Vedanta. Where the ultimate point

- We can say, and prove it, that they are all fools and rascals from the spiritual point of view, because they do not know their identification. This is the first education: to know one's identification. That is being taught by Sanatana Gosvami & Caitanya

- What is this raja-vidya, the king of education, the summum bonum of knowledge? It is this Krsna consciousness
- What should be the purpose of life? This opportunity, this nice intelligence, nice education, nice beautiful body, nice economic condition - that should be utilized for tapasya. Tapasya means austerity, restriction
- What the education has produced? Simply dishonest men. Why? Because godlessness. That's all

- With your money, with your intelligence, with your power, with your influence, whatever you have got. Education, departmental knowledge. Try to glorify the Supreme Lord. Then it is perfect
