There is a story to illustrate how Vedic education satisfies. Three hundred years ago, there lived a very staunch but very poor brahmana in Krsnanagar near Mayapur. The king, Raja Krsnacandra, heard of the learned brahmana, and he went to visit him. "Brahmana" the king said, "can I help you in any way?" "No, I don't require any help from you," the brahmana answered. "But I can see you are so poverty-stricken," the king said. "No," said the brahmana, "I am not poverty-stricken. My students beg some rice, which my rice boils, and here is a tamarind tree, so I take some leaves and boil them. I am not poverty-stricken." MORAL: One who knows Brahman is satisfied, brahma bhuta prasannatma.
