Grades of Gifts

First deluge the land (India) with spiritual ideas, then other ideas will follow. 

The gift of spirituality and spiritual knowledge is the highest, for it saves from many and many a birth; 
the next gift is secular knowledge, as it opens the eyes of human beings towards that spiritual knowledge; 
the next is the saving of life; 
and the fourth is the gift of food.

                 On Bhakti-Yoga, 
                  Notes from Lectures and Discourses
