takarm yann bandhay saa vidya ya vimuktaye.
aayasayaparam karm vidyanya shilpanaipunam ..
– shri vishnupuran

That is, that which does not create bondage is Karma and that which paves the way for liberation is Vidya. The rest of the work is a form of hard work and other disciplines are just art skills.

Indian sages and sages have called knowledge (vidya) as the means of man’s salvation. Man has been yearning for freedom from fear, hunger, disorders, evil tendencies, misconduct, weakness, humility and inferiority, disease, grief etc. since eternity.

The above Mahavakya of Shri Vishnu Purana gives us the same message that man should make efforts to get freedom from all his troubles through knowledge. Learning is the result of sacrifice and penance, that is why attainment of knowledge is always laborious.

Come, let us all try our best to acquire knowledge by being disciplined and with a dedicated spirit, using all the available resources in a dignified manner. By including proper diet, exercise and thoughts in your daily routine, make the infinite possibilities given by nature as a person flourish and blossom in the light of the sacred energy of knowledge.

We all recite this sutra from Taitriya Upanishad of Krishna Yajurveda every day in the morning prayer meeting in our schools: –

Om Saha Navavatu Saha Nau Bhunaktu, Saha Viryam Karvaavhai.
Tejasvi Navadhitamata Maa Vidvishavhai, Om ShantiH ShantiH ShantiH.

Come, let us understand the great message hidden in this sutra and assimilate it in our life and do our daily work. I send my hearty greetings to all the officers, principals, teachers, students and personnel of Delhi division and wish a successful and happy future for all.
