सुखार्थी त्यजते विद्यां विद्यार्थी त्यजते सुखम् !

सुखार्थिन: कुतो विद्या कुतो विद्यार्थिन: सुखम् !!

The one who runs after the luxuries will not get knowledge. And the one who wants to gain knowledge leaves the luxuries. How will any one get knowledge if he/she wants to lead a easy life? And how will one get to live a easy life who is looking for knowledge? agreeable speech makes us "understand" that knowledge cannot be gained leading a lavish life-style. Therefore may be in ancient Bharat the 'Gurukula' system was designed in such a way that students in their student life should gain maximum knowledge by staying away from all the pleasures of the materialistic world.
