Best Donation

Meaning: As mentioned in the Rigved 6/28/3 and Atharvaved 4/21/3 - the best donation in the world is the donation of knowledge, because a thief cannot steal it, nobody can destroy it and it provides permanent happiness to millions.
Message: Comparatively Man is rather more ignorant than knowledgeable. God has given man such a wonderful brain, given such power of understanding, thinking, concentration and contemplation that today he has produced mega-computers, has produced innumerable gadgets of comfort through discoveries and inventions, and is not stopping even at that. But the spiritual intelligence of putting knowledge to good use is only in very rare individuals. Most people are ignorant and of the few that are wise and understanding most are trapped by corrupt thinking, corrupt characters, laziness, lethargy and persistence of wicked attitudes.
The duty of the learned people is to show the truth with the knowledge of light to the society wandering in darkness. It is all-right to give money, clothes, food to the needy but its influence is momentary. the best donation is the donation of knowledge, because man gets the right direction with it. It is a permanent wealth whose benefit, the man gets throughout his life and along with it there is a qualitative increase in this wealth.
Man gets his first education in the mother's lap. Because of affection, closeness and love, the child eagerly obeys his mother's instructions. If mothers fulfill their responsinbilities properly, while imparting good thoughts to the child, they can at the same time plant the seeds of rebellion against bad and evil social customs and thus produce healthy, thoughtful and learned citizens in the country. Maharshi Arvind also laid emphasis on 5 aspects for perfection in education. These are - material, pranik (relating to the life-breath), manasik (mental), antaratmik (related to soul) and adhyatmik (i.e. spiritual). They are related to man's 5 principal activities. All these 5 aspects of education are complementary to each other and give a totality to man's personality throughout the life. Great emphasis shall be laid on these 5 aspects of education right from the childhood. With this type of knowledge, there is an increase in qualities/virtues and the arrangement for the control of thinking and action becomes permanent and it opens the doors to becoming a great man.
With knowledge, man's understanding increases. When understanding increases, man's honesty will increase. If honesty increases, then man will develop responsibility and if responsibility increases, then man will develop bravery. All the four are connected with each other. Such power will then be created in man that he will resist immorality, be ready to give up his life for the completes eradication of wicked activities, bad customs, wicked tendencies and wicked thinking, and can play a leading role in the creation of a healthy progressive society.
One who donates (imparts) knowledge for making others learned, virtuous and good in conduct is a true Brahmans.
