Arrogance comes from a closed mind.

Where is the mind? Never mind. The Mind is not in the brain. Mind is such an enormous thing and the brain is too small a thing to hold it. It is the canvas on which our thoughts are projected. Mind is everywhere. There is a universal mind which connects all of us, and there is an individual mind which is a part of universal mind.

What is Science? Science is curiosity. The one who knows has to become humble like the sun who becomes smaller as he ascends on to the sky. 'Vidya Dadati Vinayam'. What is education, it is not the degrees you acquire, it is humility. If one is humble, he is educated.

Education is a healthy mind. Healthy mind is a mind filled with enthusiasm. Enthusiasm to work. If you love your work, you can work, 24 hours a day. Burnout comes when you work against your wish. When you don't love your work, you burn out.

An enthusiasm to be compassionate. One certain way of becoming happy is making someone happy. When you love everyone in the world, you become a compassionate human being. And then you become really a healthy mind person. Education is making a healthy mind.
