The benefits of slowing down and enjoying simple pleasures
True education is that which helps us to know the atman, our true self. God and Truth. To acquire this knowledge, some persons may feel the need for a study of literature, some for a study of physical sciences and some others for art. But every ranch of knowledge should have as its goal, knowledge of the self. That is so in the Ashram. We carry on numerous activities with that aim in view. All of them are, in my sense of the term, true education. Those activities can also be carried on without any reference to the goal of knowledge of the self.

When they are so carried on, they may serve as a means of livelihood or of something else, but they are not education. In an activity carried on as education, a proper understanding of its meaning, devotion to duty and the spirit of service are necessary. The first necessarily brings about development of the intellect. In doing any piece of work, however small, we should be irispired by a holy aim and, while doing it, we should try to understand the purpose which it will serve and the scientific method of doing it.

...We are living in the midst of death, tying to grope our way to Truth Perhaps it is as well that we are beset with danger at every point in our life for, inspite of our knowledge of the danger and of our precarious existence our indifference to the source of all life is excelled only by our amazing arrogance.

...My intellect rebels against the destruction of any life in any shape whatsoever. But my heart is not strong enough befriend these creatures. which, experience has shown, are destructive. The language of convincing confidence, which comes from actual experience, fails me, and it will continue to do so, so long as I am cowardly enough to fear snakes, tigers and the like.
-(YI. 17 July 1927. p. 222)

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
