00:00Education is not about degree.
00:03If education doesn't teach you how to live,
00:08then your one crore package is useless.
00:11I have seen such experiences in my SP career
00:17that super specialist doctor ladies I have seen in Surat city,
00:22I can't mention the names,
00:24they come to me and they are victims of domestic violence.
00:30They are victims of domestic violence.
00:33Education is not only about your knowledge!
00:35Education is about your attitude towards life.
00:38If you have learning habits without feedback
00:42then you can't have a successful life.
00:46You cannot have a successful life,
00:48if you just had a good education then?
00:55Ladies, I want to talk to you, education is not about degree, education is not about information,
01:14it is not about placement, it is not about employment, it is not about package.
01:21It can be all these things to some extent, but education is beyond this.
01:25If education does not teach you how to live, then your one crore package is also useless.
01:35I have seen such experiences in my SP career, that super specialist doctor ladies I have
01:43seen in Surat city, I can't mention the names, they come to me and they are victims of domestic
01:50violence.
01:51In her house, her husband beats her, her monthly income is 35 lakhs, no ladies, there is no
01:59need to clap, listen to me, you have 35 lakhs, you are financially independent, yet you don't
02:07have the courage to leave the person who beats you every day, then what is the use of education?
02:15In Maharashtra, if you are using the internet, there is a woman called Sindhu Tai Sapkal,
02:21she is in the fourth class, fourth class in Gujarati, that is why she is not married.
02:27Her husband threw her out when she was pregnant, I don't know how to say it in Gujarati,
02:33in Marathi it is called gotha, in that she was thrown out, there she got delivered,
02:40she was broken by a stone, from there she got out, today in Maharashtra, more than 1000
02:49children are taken care of by this woman.
02:52I have given two examples for this, that if you get financial independence from education
02:57and you don't have the courage to leave the person, then there is no use of education.
03:01And if you don't have education and you have the courage, then 10 ways will open up,
03:05and we need such examples all over the world.
03:09So I am not saying that education is useless, degree is the basic thing of it.
03:13How many mothers have the courage to go to the police station and file a complaint
03:19even if their husband doesn't throw them out?
03:22It is important.
03:24People know that out of 100, 10, 20, 25 women go to the police station if they are raped.
03:30The rest endure it, and that is why these people have no fear of the law.
03:36So all the women who are here today, I request all of you to teach us from childhood that
03:41tolerance is the form of a woman, don't listen to this thing at all.
03:47It is okay to a certain level, to take care of your family, not to fight over small things,
03:53you understood something, the other person understood something, that is okay.
03:57But when your existence itself becomes a question mark, if you start enduring there too,
04:02then it becomes a bad quality, not a good quality.
04:06Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar has said somewhere that the one who endures,
04:10is more guilty than the one who does injustice.
04:13Because you don't endure alone, if you endure, then if a child is watching you,
04:19then he too will learn the same.
04:20Maybe this is the right way.
04:21One message I would like to give you is,
04:25until you don't love your own self, until you don't find your life important,
04:32until then you will not be able to love another person.
04:36And this love will happen only when you have the courage,
04:39when you are ready to fight to live your life the way you want to live it.
