I encouraged you to pursue academic excellence, strive for admission to good colleges and universities in future, and keep-up with your preparation for a meaningful and profitable career. My chief concern, however, is always for the moral, intellectual, and spiritual growth. Niche gyan and informal pedagogy, the residential life practices, and mentoring and coaching were only aimed at the development of good character.

Virtues are habits of thought, feeling, and action that enable a human being to flourish individually and contribute to common social good. Specifically, religious / cultural virtues are gifts of God that enable us to enjoy right relationship with God, fulfill God’s calling on our lives, and build or rebuild his Kingdom, contrary to god-fearing brainwash now-a-days.

There are many virtues, but focus on traditional core virtues: love, hope, faith, wisdom, justice, temperance, and courage. Vices, by contrast, are qualities that, while tempting, ultimately lead human beings away from their true end, resulting often in destruction of their own lives and lives of those around.. Never stop identifying and resisting the capital vices: pride, vainglory, envy, wrath, sloth, violence, avarice, gluttony, and lust.

There are truths so evident, so much a part of our common knowledge, that it is useless to discuss them repeatedly. One ought to be Marxist with the same naturalness with which one is ‘Newtonian’ in physics, or ‘Yogi’ in ethics. A person truly achieves full human condition when he/she produces without being compelled by the physical necessity of selling self as a commodity.. anyone says RIP or not, do Kaal cares!

It makes no small difference, then, whether we form habits of one kind or of another from our very youth; it makes a very great difference, or rather all the difference. “Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make you a more clever devil.” – Aristotle / Mahakaal
