In the Indian education system, both secular and spiritual education are given importance. Secular education teaches us how to earn a livelihood and is related to external life, while spiritual education is related to inner life. The education we give and receive should provide both good outer vision and inner insight. It is necessary to lead today’s life in balance. Students should learn to make proper use of opportunities. Today, skills must be learned continuously and updated from time to time. One must also learn to live peacefully among those we may not like. Success cannot be achieved without imbibing values. Adopt a simple lifestyle. We should not imitate a life that is not ours,”
