So in the Kali-yuga we do not expect everyone to be very great scholar. That is not possible. But if he knows what is the aim of education, what is the objective of education, then he is also scholar. Just like our Gaura-Kisora dasa Babaji Maharaja. He was illiterate. He could not sign his name even. But he became the spiritual master of the best scholar of his time, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati. So it is not the education, ABCD. In Bengal we say anguam(?). No. What is the purport of education? The purport of education is spoken by Krsna Himself: vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyam [Bg. 15.15]. If one understands Krsna and takes to the shelter of His lotus feet, he is also the biggest scholar.
