Education Is A Mission Poem by VIJAY KUMAR ROY

Education is a mission
That makes one crave to attain all
That could strengthen one
To make a new path instead of following one
And lead to see through the eyes of others
Where castle and cottage have the same meaning;
Pleasure and pain have the same feeling;
Theist and atheist have the same goal;
And great and small get the same reverence.

Education has to pave the way to attain self-realization
To embrace the Light and eliminate the Darkness
To strengthen the perpetual divine perception
And enlighten the hungry souls on the path of truth,
And also reinstate the misled ones
Imparting the sublime lessons.
