Education should have a definite goal to pursue. A sculptor
has a clear idea about what he wants to shape out of the marble block;
similarly, a painter knows what he is going to paint. But a modern teacher has no
clear idea about the goal of his teaching. The end of all education is man
making.
Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in
man. The aim of education is to manifest in our lives the perfection, which is the very
nature of our inner self. This perfection is the realization of the infinite
power which resides in everything and every-where - existence, consciousness
and bliss.
After understanding
the essential nature of this perfection, we should identify it with our inner
self. For achieving this, one will have to eliminate one’s ego, ignorance and
all other false identification, which stand in the way.
