Are we really educated this is my query for the whole?
We have good education we have successfull jobs and well settled life but are we really happy? Do we not lament over petty things ?
Real Education:
Real Education is when we are able to solve our day to day quandary.The experential learning is real Education.
Education is basically the process by which a growing mind and intellect is moulded to develop an integrated personality of its own to become a useful member of society.
Education will be useful when we imbibe values in our life.Inorder to be a successful individual we should make education as a part and parcel of our life.
A gang of thieves entered a bank. They made the employees face the wall with their hands on the wall. After emptying the bank vaults, they started taking valuables such as cash, watch, phones, and other things that the employees were carrying with them. One of them handed over something to his friend who was standing next to him. His friend asked, “Why are you giving me something when the robbers are emptying our pockets?” The employee answered, “I just returned the USD200 that I owed you.”
We are wily aren’t we?
Our mind is such a menace . We are not able to decipher how our mind is working.” What is Mind?The mind is nothing but thoughts and thoughts repeat themselves. Ask yourself, ‘Why are my thoughts repeated’? Then we will see, it is because we have not digested the experiences of life. If we eat an apple and don’t digest the apple, the undigested apple creates stomach disorders. Similarly, if experiences are not digested they repeats themselves.
What does it mean, to digest experiences in life?
We have to learn from our experiences how to get a positive meaning from the experience. Then, even through failures, we become richer.
Walt Disney failed many times, but learned the right lessons and hence failure was not frustrating for him. Rather, it was fertilizer for his creativity.
Also, one has to learn the art of ending one’s past and not constantly fret and fume over it.
“Learn to end that incident in our mind instead of carrying it.” We are carrying the burden of yesterday. And hence we are not alert to the present and not sensitive to the present. The dissatisfaction of the past is polluting the present. Train the mind to leave the past, let go of the past. Learn from past failures. Let it teach us the right lessons.
What is education?
An ignorant person may not be an unlearned man. A learned man may be stupid for he knows only from books and not from his experiences. Education helps in understanding through self-observation. Our present system of education helps us to get employed and earn money. True education helps us to understand our conflict, the stupid ways of our mind, to end our hurt, and thus learn to optimise life and not be a victim to life’s situations.
True education enables you to not be a doormat in office. Learn to be creative. Learn to grow in your life. Watch your mind deceiving you and then the mind will learn to be creative. Education is just not for giving you livelihood but giving you the art of living wholly and joyously.
Learn to connect to people despite differences so that you don’t get trapped in differences. If you can still bond with the person you disagree with, then you are mature. Then you are bigger than the differences. Such a person will be effective and he is truely educated person.
Let us really unravel learning and imbibe education in our life and lead a blithesome life .
