God is in everyone
The transmission of spiritual knowledge and the foundational role of the family are essential. Knowledge is absorbed gradually, not in a single day, as illustrated by the yearly progression in school. Śaṅkarācārya established a great path of knowledge that many follow. There are two kinds of knowledge: external learning and the inner knowledge received from a guide. This knowledge must be passed on. The primary teachers are the mother and father; all other education stems from this foundation. The mother tongue imparts deep, lasting understanding. Modern separation of families is detrimental; one should strive to remain close to parents. Lifelong learning from parents and spiritual practice continues until the soul departs. Ultimately, all beings return to the one God.
"Learning is not for one day; it is for a whole year."
"Mother-father's knowledge, lifelong techniques—and of course there are many techniques."
