Education;Why is it necessary?

Education;Why is it necessary?

                                                       EDUCATION



This is the one aspect which we made mandatory for everyone living on this planet. Thousand years ago education was about handling bow and arrow and now it is utilization of scientific application. Needless to say that we are a lot more civilized and organized than ever before. Education itself has meaning of wide ranges. This is an ever progressing idea where context of the society you live in determines its definition. There is probably unlimited potential and possibilities within an human being. The tool by which we can manifest the inner capabilities is called 'Education'.

                                                                     But today this idea if education got an constipated form. In the modern day and age most of us use education as a medium to earn our livelihood.  The limited individual ambition manipulated the educational process to a large extent. We just go on suppressing the boundless prospects by limiting our vision which culminates into immortal dissatisfaction. It is very obvious from the fact that we can never be fully contented no matter whatever we achieve in our life because there is something within us that do not like any barrier at all. Expansion till the limitless is our primitive nature. In some cases people restrict the possibility of boundlessness just for sustaining themselves which is quite reasonable. The world is still not in a shape where food for living is available to everyone. Unless and until the survival process is not a matter of concern anymore, the act of exploration for the limitless will not be a real-life experience to everyone. Still there are some remote areas where little kids are forced to do menial jobs just for having a meal. The discrepancy in economy can never bring an equilibrium state of living which is very important to obtain the ultimate possibility of human being in the educational process.

                                                                      Knowing things to its core is what education is all about. We have two equipments in the name of intellect and intelligence to comprehend something. Intellect being sharp in nature is used to fragment objects to understand. On the other hand intelligence works on the principle of perception. Intelligence is that dimension of human propensity which is used to know something without dissecting it. Intelligence and intellect should be implemented in proper way to understand something fully. The modern education is mainly intellect based which sometimes causes disaster. The amalgamation of these two aspects should be introduced in educational process which will fructify like never before.
                                                                   Learning something should be a delightful phenomenon for the learners otherwise the fundamental purpose of education will be banished. It has been a major concern that after becoming successful in their stream the affluent students seem to have lost their life energy in the process. Having a miserable expression with success in the back does not hold any significance at all. Experiential learning is given importance now a days and it is quite productive. Exposure to the real life scenario will teach you a lot than reading a whole lot of books. Our idea of education should not limit ourselves only to the contemporary society or circumstances. The range of at least one dimension of education should be relevant to everything physical happenings in this existence irrespective of time.

                                                                      Education should not be goal oriented. If you fix a goal there is always a chance of you missing your potential's fulfillment because you set up your ambition on the basis of social dignity not your capability. In this process one should move forward with an exploratory mind to dig deep which make one interesting. If someday this happens where survival process will be taken care of effortlessly, then exploratory mind might begin its voyage to unveil every single mystery latent in this mystical reality. The existence is too beautiful to be left unexplored.

PERFECTION



   
           

  ‘’Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man’’-Swami Vivekananda


All of us come across this immortal statement every now and then but how many of us have really understood to its core? What did he mean to say by the word ‘perfection’? If we see it, apparently we can’t look at anything that seems to be perfect! Is there any perfection at all inside a human body? I know all these questions sound nonsensical. If you see that the fundamental happenings in this world happen automatically likewise you eat something & this is it, you don’t even make any conscious effort to digest it. But it happens. We don’t force the Earth to move around the Sun but it revolves by itself. So, what is the stimulus that makes it possible? We call it Gravity. But this is just a term used by scientists to explain certain things. But what is the source of this Gravity! They call it to be a Natural phenomenon. Its’ true that we can name or explain all the physical happenings in the world by scientific & logistic approach but we can’t interpret  the origin of everything that is already there I meant to say those working agents who have been there before we came to existence. We assume a lot to define everything because we can’t tolerate the pain of ignorance anymore.
                                                                             So, there is some perfection throughout the existence that encourages the universe to work in such a cohesive manner. So, education should be such where this perfection would be manifested where you will know everything about this existence. We are compelled to term the happenings related to birth to be accidental because we don’t have the capacity to decipher the reality of our existence. Education should be lucrative to that extent where the demonstration of existential truth will be natural to us. If it happens someday it will be the best possible upgradation that could have happened to us. Right now the education we are used to is just to enhance the physical comfort. We want everything to happen in no time with least amount of effort & we are able to achieve a great deal by the good grace of the modern scientists. Someday this may happen where we will be existing just to eat sleep & reproduce. What next? May be one more planet we get to walk on. Nothing is satisfactory unless you get to the origin. We heard of various miraculous events performed by Swamiji. Those were no bookish knowledge other than absolute perception. Everything occurs in this universe is based on different forms of energy but the fundamentals remain the same. Suppose when a motorbike first invented it was an exhibition of energy proficiency which is a replica of our locomotion. Gradually other advantageous materials are added to ease up the driving a bit which is very similar to the process of ‘evolution ‘in the case human being.
                                                                                Thus education should act as a way of understanding our stand in this universe. We should have to focus on maintaining our survival process & comforts. But this should not be the end all & be all. This idea of ‘to learn something means one step ahead to earn something’ should be dismissed. Education will be an enjoyable process to perceive the universe & all its accessories to the utmost level. Exaggeration of earning livelihood is unnecessary. I admit the fact that there is still a section of people who are struggling to survive. Food is not easily accessible to them but we ourselves are responsible for this crisis. We must ensure the availability of mandatory essentials to everyone. Education should not be treated just as a mean to earn money. Needless to say that it is a very narrow minded approach towards it. Managing the external affairs is an expertise which we learn manually in the process of education in various ways. But there is another dimension of ourselves which is the real self, does not get any attention or education at all. So, we give more importance to outside phenomenon than the happenings of inside. In our experience there is nothing which could be termed as ‘perfect’ but there is an amazing cohesiveness among everything physical in this cosmos, happening in the lap of non-physical. You can call this perfectly perfect. To know the fundamental reality behind this occurrence other than intellectually interpreting it, you need the excellence of education what Swami Vivekananda might have meant.
