विद्या ददाति विनयं विनयाद् याति पात्रताम् ।
पात्रत्वात् धनमाप्नोति धनात् धर्मं ततः सुखम् ॥

“Education leads to sensibility, sensibility attains character / qualification, from that comes wealth (One Does) good deeds, from that (comes) joy.”

“Vidhya” is necessary to live one’s life. It is not just formal education. While “Vidhya” is the necessity everyone is making efforts to garner just a degree / knowledge. According to Vedas.

“सा विद्या या विमुक्तये”

After gaining “Vidhya” a person is filled with happiness, peace, prosperity, love for the motherland, love for parents and responsibility towards the society. Whereas just formal education / knowledge brings ego, narcissism, self-centered attitude, etc. in a human being.

They bring a lot of negativity in one’s life. “Vidhya” can be attained through a person who is a guru or a motivator whereas knowledge can be attained through any technology or any other source.

After gaining “Vidhya” one attains spirituality, hard work, patience, peace, empathy etc. Whereas when a person gains knowledge he/she only attains ego and overconfidence.
