The inspiration for the mission of SAHA evolves from the valuable thoughts provoked by Sri Sathya Sai Baba

• True education does not limit one to serve only one’s selfish ends; it elevates one to serve others. One attains merit by serving others and commits sin by harming them.
• Modern education is steeped in utter selfishness. It is only when man transcends his self- interest can he acquire true education and purity of heart.
• Character is most important in the life of man. Truth and righteousness is the foundation of character.
• What are the qualities expected of a student? A student should have good intellect, good character, adherence to truth, devotion, discipline and duty. Only those students who cultivate such qualities are eligible to be called students in the real sense.
• Without truth, righteousness and love, there can be no peace.
• Today, students are engaged in acquiring education. The education that they acquire is only secular education and not spiritual education.
• The end of education is Character. Devoid of character, everything else is useless.
• Unfortunately, today we have distanced ourselves from this sacred goal of education. Of what use is it to acquire such an education which does not help one to attain its goal?
• Modern education enables one to acquire merely worldly gains. But fulfilling one’s physical requirements is not the be-all and end-all of education. Besides catering to one’s worldly progress, it should help one to attain inner growth.
• Education should enable one to cultivate good qualities, character and devotion. There should be balance between worldly progress and inner growth. There should be unity between one’s thoughts and actions. Only when there is unity can one realize divinity.
