They are being first-class educated, these boys, they, simply by chanting and dance. Don't be disturbed, that "My child is not being educated." What is this education? This education, this bodily concept of life, it is not education. That "I am this body," "I am Indian," "I am American," "I am brāhmaṇa," "I am kṣatriya," "I am white," "I am black," this education, the whole world this education is going on, nationalism, in the name of nationalism, communism, socialism. They are all bodily concept of life. That is not education. That education is useless, because this kind of education will not stop the process of birth, death, old age and disease. They may be technical education, temporary, some bodily comfort, but this is not taken as education. Real education is brahma-jijñāsā, athāto brahma jijñāsā. That is real education. What I am, that is brahma-jijñāsa. Ahaṁ brahmāsmi. When he comes to the conclusion that he is not this body, he is spirit soul, that is real education.

''Abhaya''. ''Abhaya ''means it doesn't vanquish. There is no expenditure; it is increasing. ''Ānandāmbudhi-vardhanam''. Caitanya Mahāprabhu says, ''ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanam'', ''ānandāmbudhi-vardhanam ''([[vanisource:CC  Antya 20.12|CC Antya 20.12]]). These transcendental activities, transcendental bliss, increases, ''ānanda ambudhi''. ''Ambudhi ''means ocean. We have seen ocean, but it does not increase, although it is a very big, vast mass of water. Still, when you go to the beach for hundreds year, it does not increase. ''Ānandāmbudhi'', the material world, not ''vardhanam''; it is fixed up. When we walk on the beach we are confident that although the Pacific Ocean is a great, vast mass of water, but we are certain it cannot come up to this. It is limited by the order of God: "You cannot go beyond this." So there is no ''vardhanam''. The temporary ebb tide and flow tide, that is another thing, but actually ''āpūryamānam acala pratiṣṭhām'' ([[vanisource:BG 2.70 (1972)|BG 2.70]]). But in the spiritual world, the ocean of transcendental bliss increases. Therefore it is said that ''ānandāmbudhi vardhanam''.

So these little boys who are taking to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, just like Prahlāda Mahārāja, ''mahā-bhāgavata'', he is also playing the part of a child, immediately falling down; so these children who are here, even imitation, it will not go in vain. Kṛṣṇa is so kind, as it is said here, ''sva-pāda-mūle-patitaṁ tam arbhakaṁ ''([[vanisource:SB 7.9.5|SB 7.9.5]]). Although they are innocent children, but when they're offering obeisances to Rādhā-Mādhava it is of value, "Yes, very good." It is going to their credit. It is not bad. Some may think that these boys are brought here and their life is being spoiled; they are not being educated in the modern way; they're simply chanting, dancing and offering. But that is the real education. ''Tan manye adhitam uttamam'', Prahlāda Mahārāja. ''Śravaṇām kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam arcanaṁ vandanaṁ dāsyām ''([[vanisource:SB 7.5.23-24|SB 7.5.23]]), the devotional service. ''Tan manye adhītam uttamam''. They are being first-class educated, these boys, they, simply by chanting and dance. Don't be disturbed, that "My child is not being educated." What is this education? This education, this bodily concept of life, it is not education. That "I am this body," "I am Indian," "I am American," "I am ''brāhmaṇa''," "I am ''kṣatriya''," "I am white," "I am black," this education, the whole world this education is going on, nationalism, in the name of nationalism, communism, socialism. They are all bodily concept of life. That is not education. That education is useless, because this kind of education will not stop the process of birth, death, old age and disease. They may be technical education, temporary, some bodily comfort, but this is not taken as education. Real education is ''brahma-jijñāsā'', ''athāto brahma jijñāsā''. That is real education. What I am, that is ''brahma-jijñāsa''. ''Ahaṁ brahmāsmi''. When he comes to the conclusion that he is not this body, he is spirit soul, that is real education.
