Given below is a quotation. Bring out what it means to you in present context. "The intellect has sharp eye for methods and tools, but is blind to ends and values." -Einstein.

Einstein bring about the classic debate on the utility of training intellect and brain without training the heart i.e. moral values of the person.

According to Einstein intellect is good at identifying methods and tools to solve problem e.g. drought situation but blind to ends and values.

It is highly relevant in present context,

to illustrate

(i) for example in drought situation → River linking project is proposed by intellectuals. great idea theoretically to solve drought but its ends and values like submergence of forests, displacement

of tribals, violating human rights weigh highly compared to ends achieved to prevent drought.

Similarly proposing nuclear weapons emphasizing as deterent to war without disastrous consequence if misused, using proxy war by Pakistan to sustain fight against India are all absent in moral values.

Therefore it is important that intellect is trained in values, weighing in all consequences to arrive at ethically correct and better methods and tools.
