Romaharsana Killed by Balaram

Education should cultivate humility in students. One who is not self-controlled or humble, despite learning many scriptures, histories and religious texts, has not gained true knowledge or good qualities. True education helps one conquer the mind, not make one vain or presumptuous of their knowledge.

विद्या विनयेन शोभते : Education Should Bring Humility in Students.

ṛṣer bhagavato bhūtvā śiṣyo ’dhītya bahūni ca


setihāsa-purāṇāni dharma-śāstrāṇi sarvaśaḥ

adāntasyāvinītasya vṛthā paṇḍita-māninaḥ


na guṇāya bhavanti sma naṭasyevājitātmanaḥ

Although he is a disciple of the divine sage Vyāsa and has


thoroughly learned many scriptures from him, including the law
books of religious duties and the epic histories and Purāṇas, all
this study has not produced good qualities in him. Rather, his
study of the scriptures is like an actor’s studying his part, for he is
not self-controlled or humble and vainly presumes himself a
scholarly authority, though he has failed to conquer his own mind.
(SB 10.78.25-26)
