I gently remind them about how much they have invested (money + time + energy) in their graduation, and how much returns and satisfaction quotient they are reaping today. And the ridiculous disproportion in Investment versus Returns. :-)
And they immediately know that all this is because of the lack of spiritual education so far...
The greatest point to remember is that, "spiritual education" which is the most important aspect of education is often neglected...results are obvious to one and all, and I needn't elucidate that.
Oh, btw spiritual education broadly means "knowledge of self, knowledge about mind, balanced lifestyle with a holistic combination of prosperity"...in fact all spiritual people are prosperous-- in wealth, in thoughts and in magnanimity of attitude.

Something I came across recently...and feel I must share with you...
"The idea that all spiritual education should be free, or the notion that spiritual training was free in ancient India is a fallacy. Spirituality is also an education and all education needs to be paid for. Those who know their history know that people in Vedic times had to “invest” far more to get a spiritual education than we do today!
The concept of ''Dakshina'' is from the ancient Vedic times.
The vow of poverty is a concept alien to our land. Here, the primordial Guru, Lord Narayana is wedded to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Material progress goes hand in hand with spiritual growth. There are some pseudo intellectuals and historians who...praise only the dead and abuse the living."
Aptly captured here...

WHAT IS THE MEDIA DOING?
Silly goofy media...
sensationalizes a bullet and not the incredible work done by AOL in more than 165 countries in just 27 years!
politicians are the outdated PJ nowadays...and media is the new joke of the day.
Remember the last time, the media sensationalized that the commisioner's dog has run away....yes we all remember that !
But remember any time that AOL was highlighted for completely transforming Asia's largest slum...or creating a model village (in Maharashtra: https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.it.iitb.ac.in/~gumma/inspire/Kapshi.doc) in the history of the world....or Sudarshan Kriya curing thousands of patients from migraine/asthma/depression/homicidal tendencies/Cancer....or how AOL volunteers are still working in tsunami zones and Naxal-torn jungles of Chattisgarh ??
No the media wont portray that...because the media is the new PJ of the planet.
Politicians and media seem to have become the new series of Ekta Kapoor package in real life :-)
Oh, btw...the donations paid for the AOL courses are utilized in thousands of service projects across the world...from disaster relief to rural women empowerment....from free children education to saving the environment.
I'm sure some of you will appreciate this, and invest in your own health (physical, emotional, mental) through the incredibly simple and powerful ART OF LIVING courses (my personal favorite: http://yesplusevents.org/) , and at the same time, contribute to the revolutionary service activities happening through the Art of Living.

Very true, and its also true that people don't value anything that comes for free. Some of them commit to finish the course they started because of the amount of money they have invested for that, but it ultimately benefits them in the long run.
The money that we spend for the courses is nothing, this knowledge cant be weighed in terms of money.
