What is the guidance to teachers, who are responsible in inculcating values in the children?

When you teach the children, you must remember that you are engaged in a noble task for the sake of the children entrusted to your care.

You must feel that you are educating yourselves when you are educating the children.

For instance, when you impart some knowledge to the children, your own understanding of the subject improves. Even when you study books for teaching the children, you also derive joy from the study.

Hence you must always have the feeling that whatever you do for others, is in reality a service done to the Divine that resides in everyone.

When teachers do their duty in this spirit, they will be imbuing the children with the spirit of Universal love.

Remember that children have tender hearts and innocent minds. Only if you fill their hearts with love will the world have genuine peace.

- Divine Discourse, Dec 30, 1983.

The teacher and the pupil will both be immersed in joy only when Love that does not calculate the reward binds them together.

What is the role of the teachers in the building of a bright tomorrow?

The teachers is the primary basis of the great movement to restore dharma (righteousness) in the world.

The elders are far gone in their ways and it is difficult to expect a change in their habits and attitudes.

Children have to be led into good ways of living, into simplicity, humility and discipline.

As you know, you cannot draw children to your side if you hold a stick in your hand; you will have to hold some sweets instead. So the Gurus have to be embodiments of love and patience.

The ideal of the teachers is to raise a generation of boys and girls who have a clean and clear conscience. The actual syllabus is not so important as the creation of an atmosphere where noble habits and ideals can grow and fructify.

The pupils follow the spiritual discipline and curriculum only for one day in the week and attend their usual schools on the other days. So the impact of the Guru has to be extra strong if it has to act as a catalyst in the process of modification of the behaviour patterns of these pupils.

- Divine Discourse, Jun 06, 1978.

Education must train children to love, to co-operate, to be brave in the cause of truth, to be helpful, to be sympathetic and to be grateful.

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school

- Albert Einstein

What is the mark of true education and what should students cultivate during these years of learning?

This is the age of science and technology. Its civilisation and culture are bound up with knowledge of the physical universe.

What students must learn today is culture of the Soul, broadening of the Spirit and purification of the Heart.

This knowledge leads to unfolding of the Spirit and sublimation of life. Along with development of the intellect, blossoming of the heart should also be promoted.

Only that education is total and full which comprehends enlargement of hridaya (the spiritual or loving Spirit).

It should serve to promote ethical values. Only then will it be possible to lead a well-regulated and disciplined life.

The marks of true education are selflessness, humility, and unostentatiousness. The ethos of Bharat is based on righteousness and justice and an inherent goodness of character.

The edifice of right education rests on four pillars: Self-control, Self-support, Self-confidence, and Self-sacrifice.

Students today are totally oblivious to Self-support. How, then, can they achieve Self-control? Education should aim not merely at making men human, but should try to make them perfect human beings.

- Divine Discourse, June 23, 1988

Worldly education makes man great, whereas spiritual education makes him good.

Which is the right place to acquire education and what should that education grant us?

Do not think that the education which you should get, is available only at colleges or schools. Education should be obtained from all the world over.

It can be got from a workshop. It can be got from a farm. It can be got from a profession or trade. Even moving in the market can give you education.

All aspects of life can impart education. You must regard the world itself as a big university.

From the time you get up from your bed till the time you go to sleep again, you are using your education for earning the pittance of a livelihood.

If you cannot use your education to be near the feet of the Divine, what is the purpose of all this knowledge?

You must have Him in your heart and recognise all living beings as equal. You must make every effort to overcome the four obstacles, namely lust, anger, attachment, and greed.

So long as these thieves are in your home, there is no certainty that you will get the treasure of wisdom. But after driving away these thieves, you will get a bigger thief into your home and that thief is the Divine Himself.

That is why He has been called “Chitta-chora” or the One who steals your heart.

- Summer Showers, Jun 09, 1973

Wherever you stay or wherever you go, that very place provides you with some kind of education or the other.
