How would you define "true education"?

Vivekananda: I never define anything. Still, it may be described as a development of faculty, not an accumulation of words, or as a training of individuals to will rightly and efficiently. With that kind of education, we can produce great fearless women--women worthy to continue the traditions of Sanghamitta, Lila, Ahalya Bai, and Mira Bai--women fit to be mothers of heroes, because they are pure and selfless, strong with the strength that comes of touching the feet of God.

Interview in the Prabuddha Bharata. December 1898.
