तत्कर्म यन्न बंधाय सा विद्या या विमुक्तये।
आयासायापरम कर्म विद्यान्या शिल्पनैपुणम।।
– श्री विष्णुपुराण

That is, the one which does not create bondage is Karma, the one 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 available resources in a dignified manner. By including proper diet, exercise and thoughts in your daily routine, make the infinite possibilities given by nature as a person flourish and blossom in the light of the sacred energy of knowledge.
We all recite this sutra from Taitriya Upanishad of Krishna Yajurveda every day in the morning prayer meeting in our schools:

ॐ सह नाववतु सह नौ भुनक्तु, सह वीर्यम करवावहै।
तेजस्वि नावधीतमस्तु मा विद्विषावहै, ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः।।

Come, let us understand the great message hidden in this sutra and assimilate it in our life and do our daily work. I send my heartiest greetings to all the principals, teachers, students, officers and personnel of Gurugram division and wish them a successful and happy future.
