तत्कर्म यन्न बंधाय सा विद्या या विमुक्तये।
आयासायापरम कर्म विद्यान्या शिल्पनैपुणम।।
– श्री विष्णुपुराण
…means that which does not create bondage is Karma, that which paves the way for liberation is Vidya.
The rest of the work is a form of hard work and other studies are just art skills.
Indian sages and mystics have called knowledge (vidya) as the means of man’s salvation. Man has been yearning for freedom from fear, hunger, disorders, evil tendencies, misconduct, weakness, humility and inferiority, disease, grief etc. since eternity. The above Mahavakya of Sri Vishnu Purana gives the same message that man should make efforts to get freedom from all his troubles through knowledge. Learning is successful through sacrifice and penance, hence attainment of knowledge is always laborious.
Let us all try our best to acquire knowledge by being disciplined and with dedication, using all the available resources in a dignified manner. By incorporating proper diet, behavior and thoughts in your daily routine, let the infinite possibilities given by nature flourish and blossom in the light of the sacred energy of knowledge.

We all should follow this sutra of Taittreya Upanishad of Krishna Yajurveda every morning in our schools. In the prayer meeting of the time, we recite aloud:-

Om Saha Navavatu Saha Nau Bhunaktu, Saha Veeryam Karavahay.
Tejasvi Navadhitastu Ma Vidvishay, Om Shanti: Shanti: Shanti:

Come, understand the great message hidden in this sutra and imbibe it in your life and make it your daily routine. Do your work. I send my heartfelt best wishes to all the principals, teachers, students, officers and employees of Gurugram division and wish them a successful and happy future.
