Neither the raw fruit nor the tree wants to leave each other. But when
the fruit becomes ripe, this attachment automatically disappears.
Man requires to experience anger, jealousy, passion, etc. just as the
fruit had to undergo various stages of growth and taste before it became fully ripe so to get automatically detached from
the tree.
We cannot overcome these experiences – anger, jealousy, passion,
etc – in the beginning. But we must ponder over the fact why we undergo these experiences. Otherwise we will be the
losers. We will become slaves of these experiences and can never achieve fulfillment or contentment.
By education we realize Truth. There are many truths, History is one
truth. Geography is one truth, Mathematics is one truth. The content of truth is the greatest in Mathematics. In others, there
is an element of imagination. In Geography, we come across names Asia, Africa, Madras, Calcutta, etc. These names were given
by us. By imagination, we have given names ‘plateau’ ‘valley’, etc. By a process of gradual elimination
of all that is imaginary, when we arrive at truth, that Truth is found to be God. To think of Him with real devotion is the
fruit of education.
