WHY OUR PRESENT EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM FAILING?
Many of us seems to think that just by teaching human beings to reade or withe, we shall our human problems.
While it is obviously necessary to know how to read or write, it will not give anyone the capacity to understand life as for as his or her spiritual growth or self-mastery is concerned.
The ability to systematic understand ourself, understand the Universal
Laws and the Laws of nature in human life, and their application to the development of true-Self is both the beginning and ens of all education.
Which isn't merely acquirting, gathering and correlating of facts, it is to see the full significence of life as whole. We are a tree in the forest but also a part of that forest.
This understanding on individual life comes only through 'self-knowledge, which is an awareness of one's total spiritual process.
Thus, education, in the true sense, is an understanding of oneself, for it is within each one of us that the whole existence is gathered.
What we now call education is a matter of accumulating information and knowledge from books, which anyone can do who can read.
Such knowledge offers a subtle form of escape from ourselves. Like all other escapes, it inevitably creates misery. Conflicts and confusion results from wrong relationships with people, things, nature and the whole universe of which we as human beings are an integral part.
And until we understand that relationships, and more importantly alter it, merely learning, gathering facts and acquiring various skills, can only leads us to engulf chaos and destruction.
