Text 3] Prahlada Instructs His Demoniac Schoolmates 5
with Visnu, he has merely suffered, life after life. Therefore, the educa-
tional system in the human form of life should be so perfect that one will
understand his intimate relationship with God, or Visnu. Every living
entity has an intimate relationship with God. One should therefore
glorify the Lord in the adoration of santa-rasa or revive his eternal rela-
tionship with Visnu as a servant in ddsya-rasa, a friend in sakhya-rasa,
a parent in vatsalya-rasa or a conjugal lover in ma@dhurya-rasa. All these
relationships are on the platform of love. Visnu is the center of love for
everyone, and therefore the duty of everyone is to engage in the loving
service of the Lord. As stated by the Supreme Personality of Godhead
(Bhag. 3.25.38), yesam aham priya Gtmé sutas ca sakhé guruh suhrdo
daivam istam. In any form of life, we are related with Visnu, who is the
most beloved, the Supersoul, son, friend and guru. Our eternal relation-
ship with God can be revived in the human form of life, and that should
be the goal of education. Indeed, that is the perfection of life and the per-
fection of education.
