The College Motto:
|
| It is the supreme art of the
teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. Albert Einstein |
The motto of the college is 'The truth shall make you free'. It is based on the teaching of Jesus Christ. You will know the truth and the truth will set you free. Jesus proclaims that ultimate freedom is possible only through ultimate truth.
All the religions of the world place great emphasis on the practice of truth. God is truth and it is this truth that frees us from darkness and evil and leads us to light and virtue. The age-old Indian prayer is
"Asato ma sat gamaya
Thamaso ma jyothir gamaya
Mrithyo ma amritham gamaya"
Tagore prays to God to lead his country "into that heaven of freedom" where "words come out from the depth of Truth". Gandhiji, the Father of India proved to the whole world that the way of truth leads to freedom, his life was a story of his experiments with truth. Those who close their eyes to truth and scorn and scoff at it can never enjoy true freedom.
Truth is often associated with beauty and joy.
"Sathyam, Sivam, Sundaram"
is the Indian concept of the supreme values.
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty" says Keats. Pursuit of truth is the pursuit of knowledge. Knowledge leading to wisdom gives man freedom from ignorance and folly.
