388 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Adi-lita, Ch. 17
everyone goes to school, and everyone is given the same type of education, although
no one knows what the result will be. The result, however, is most unsatisfactory,
as we have seen in the western countries especially. The United States has vast
educational institutions where everyone is allowed to receive an education, but the
resuft is that most students become like hippies.

Higher education is not meant for everyone. Only selected individuals trained in
brahminical culture should be allowed to pursue a higher education. Educational
institutions should not aim to teach technology, for a technologist cannot properly
be called educated. A technologist is a sa#dra; only one who studies the Vedas may
properly be called a learned man (pandita}. The duty of a brahmana is to become
learned in the Vedic literature and teach the Vedic knowledge to other bra@hmanas.
In our Krsna consciousness movement we are simply teaching our students to be-
come fit bréhmanas and Vaisnavas. In our school at Dallas, the students are learning
English and Sanskrit, and through these two languages they are studying all our
books, such as Srimad-Bhagavatam, Bhagavad-gita and Nectar of Devotion. \t isa
mistake to educate every student as a technologist. There must be a group of
students who become bréhmanas. Without bréhmanas who study the Vedic literature,
human society will be entirely chaotic.
