1 个月The Education System is Missing Something Vital! What if education could truly transform your life—not just make you a professional but bring you peace, harmony, and bliss? Why doesn’t education teach us to be at peace with ourselves? Education is not bringing peace, silence, and blissfulness to people. Something is missing; it is only education in subjects that do not touch your interior being at all. They may make you doctors, engineers, or professors, but they do not give you the insight that can create a Gautam Buddha in you. The true meaning of the word "education" is "to draw out." But all that your so-called education does is force in. From the outside, borrowed knowledge is being forced into the minds of innocent children. My vision is this: Education is nothing but another form of meditation. All that usually goes on in the name of education is secondary. The priority should be given to meditation—education of the inner. ? Education of the inner will be the core of life. ? It will bring peace, harmony, and compassion to your everyday existence. ? Inner education is pure—it will make you conscious and free you from stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and even lust.
