Today, a number
of discussions and deliberations are being held in the field of education.
First and foremost, we must try to recognize the true meaning of education.
One may read all the available books and elucidate the meaning contained in
these books. But, that does not entitle one to be called an educated person.
There are several highly educated people today in the world. But, what
transformation and discriminatory power have they achieved on account of
their education? What benefit has accrued to the world on account of these
so called educated people? None tries to understand and evaluate this
aspect. It is only when an educated person looks inward that he will be able
to realize the true meaning and philosophy underlying education. In contrast
to this situation, people are applying their intelligence in worldly
matters.
