Education
Generally, people are not educated in this confidential knowl-
edge; they are educated in external knowledge. As far as ordi-
nary knowledge is concerned, people are involved with so many
departments: politics, sociology, physics, chemistry, mathematics,
astronomy, engineering, etc. There are so many departments of
knowledge all over the world and many huge universities, but
there is, unfortunately, no university or educational institution
where the science of the spirit soul is instructed. Yet the soul is
the most important part of the body; without the presence of the
soul, the body has no value. Still, people are placing great stress
on the bodily necessities of life, not caring for the vital soul.
