Education is for enlightenment’s sake, it can educate a nation truly and
spontaneously. A human being under the spell of so philosophy can feel, not
think the depth of the propensity of education. A world, civilized; a world,
harmonious; a world, progressive er. how can we imagine a human life? So
Jibanananda Das with sheer unhappiness of heart for the dark world feels:
আমার সমস্ত হৃদয় ঘৃনায় বেদনায় আক্রাক্ে ভক্র গিক্য়ক্ে (অন্ধকার). Why his
heart been filled with so sufferings? The world, he discovers with the
enlightenment of his heart born from educations is with the view of the beast:
‘সূক্যরে বরৌক্ে আক্ত্রান্ত এই পৃগিেী বযন বকাটি বকাটি শুয়ক্রর আর্েনাক্দ উৎসে শুরু
কক্রক্ে।‘ (অন্ধকার). He felt a sense of hopelessness. Usually the world, which
we, human beings, consider a place for life where no one will oppress any
one else, everyone will have justice, a human being is for another human
being, er. Only the smooth touch of education can enable a human being to
perceive the world, what is this, why is this and how can he/she have it finally
a meaningful world for life, er. This outlook, they intend to communicate the
world, is the prime concern. Otherwise a world, devoid of the reflection of
enlightenment, can create the sense let’s not live, rather die. So the reflection
of education is born in the philosophy of Das: ‘সৃটির গসন্ধুর েুক্ক আগম এক বেউ
/ আজিকার; (কক্য়কটি লাইন).
Questions:
i. What is the expectation from enlightenment born from education?
