The Deeper Value of Education
In the world around us, everybody is looking for a promising career and has maintained their sole focus on either career goals or accumulation of money. But as the saying goes ‘all that glitters is not gold’, the bigger picture lies way beyond these material pursuits. While we chase success, it is also equally important to pause and question the true and sole purpose of life.
Jagatguru Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj has educated us by drawing mind blowing conclusions from our holy scriptures, proving that life is way beyond educational books, it’s deeply embedded in recognising life’s deeper meaning and our sole creator, our father Supreme God Kabir. Like educational success, true spiritual enlightenment demands dedication and right spiritual guidance from our holy scriptures.
At present, only Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj has been actively giving discourses about the nature of karmic bondage here and the only way to escape. For more such insights, visit His youtube channel ‘Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj’ to watch His groundbreaking spiritual discourses. You can order a free copy of His precious book ‘Gyan Ganga’ to read about it.
