Acharya Tulsi
Who can get education? This is a question, which can be answered from various angles. The one who is efficient, who studies in class room, whose guardians can afford to spend money, who works hard etc. various types of thoughts arises in this context. The solution for this question is found in 'AAGAMVANI'
"Vivatti aviniyassa, sampatti viniyassa Cha.
Jasseyam Duhvo Naayam, Sikkham Se Abhigachhayee."
Non-courteous people face problems and courteous people get lot of money and materials. The one who knows these two facts, get education.
Standard for Eligibility
Out of various standards of attaining education, this is one of the standards which could be directly understood and experienced. Those students, who bow before their teachers, obey their instructions with dedication and adhere to strict discipline, can search the unknown secrets of education and reach at the peak. Those students who are notorious, indiscipline and injudicious can never become literate, in spite of so innumerable efforts.
What to do?
What to do after getting education? With regard to solution for this question, many points are marked. Some students study to get employment. Some students do not understand the mathematics of employment, but they want to do or become something. With this inspiration they study. Some students study to make some research in knowledge & Science. Some study with the aim to acquire knowledge and live excellent life. But the question is how many students and teachers are there who have such dedication to read and teach? Education is the only thread that holds and keeps a person intact in every possible complexities of life and they never go out of track. A person who leaves this thread is surrounded in the cobweb of worldly desires like money, power and sex and not only gets diverted from his aim, but also loses his life.
Experimental Education is Necessary
The teachers of this century perceive teaching as profession or leading students towards knowledge, scientist, patriot and greatness? Today's students studies for acquiring knowledge or acquiring profession? We must give serious thoughts over these questions. I feel that the worth of study and teaching, both are slipping away from both the hands of students and teachers. This is the main problem in the way of education and educationalists should care to solve these problems.
Education is not only about reading and rote learning. Whatever is read should be practised in life as spirituality is not an element to be learned but to followed, lived and implemented. Then only the aim of education is meaningful. It is important that students, teachers and guardians should adopt these three fold aims in practice.
