Education for a fulfilling life
•On this earth it is only the human being which goes through a
long process of education, yet, it is the human being only who is
creating so many problems on this planet. (not mutually fulfilling)
For example:
• The value of a pen is that it can write. Here writing is the participation
of the pen in the bigger order in which it is present along with paper
and human being.
• The value of an eye is that it can be used for seeing.
• The value of a vegetable plant is that it provides nutrition to animals
and humans.

Check within Yourself! vius esa tkap dj ns[ksa!
The unhappiness in your family is
More due to lack of physical facility or
More due to lack of fulfillment in relationship?

For human beings physical facility is necessary but not adequate

When an animal has lack of physical facility it becomes uncomfortable, when it
gets physical facility it becomes comfortable
Eg. When a cow gets a stomach-full of grass, it becomes comfortable, sits and
chews the cud

If we recognize human beings’ aspiration, we find that they want to live in
relationship with all and feel happy living in relationship, therefore relationship is
necessary for human beings

On further examination, we find that we all do want to live in relationship
with others

Every night when there is a fight, we want to resolve it. We start the next
day with the thought that we don’t want to fight today, but due to lack
of right understanding about fulfillment of relationship, a fight takes
place by night

Are all 3 required? Is something redundant? Is anything more required?
Are we working on all 3?
If all 3 are required, what would be the priority*?
*Working on the high priority makes it easier to deal with the lower priority

Role of Education-Sanskar: Enable Transformation
Holistic development is transformation to Human Consciousness.
The role of education-sanskar is to enable this transformation by way of
ensuring the development of the competence to live with Definite
Human Conduct
For this, the education-sanskar has to ensure
1. Right understanding in the self of every child
2. The capacity to live in relationship with the other human beings
3. The capacity to identify the need of physical facility and the skills &
practice for sustainable production of more than what is required leading
to the feeling of prosperity
These are the 3 components of human eduction-sanskar, if it has to
ensure development of definite human conduct
• Current State: Are we ensuring 1, 2 and 3 ?

These are the 3 components of human eduction-sanskar, if it has to
ensure development of definite human conduct
If we look at the education we are giving today…
1. First one is missing
2. The second one is missing
3. In the third one, identification of physical facility, is also missing. The
willingness to produce by way of labour is also missing. The core feeling
that is generated is to accumulate more & more rather than produce more
& more ; and to consume more & more
