We have seen that the seeds of peace in the world have their origin in the righteousness in the heart of every individual. Such righteous citizens lead to the evolution of enlightened society.
Education with value system has to be so designed that the righteousness in the heart is developed in young minds. That should be the mission of education.
The prime learning environment is five to seventeen years of age.
This reminds me of an ancient Greek teacher's saying,
"Give me a child for seven years; afterwards, let God or devil take the child. They cannot change the child, that’s the power of education".
This indicates the power of great teachers and what they can inculcate in the young minds.
Parents and teachers must inculcate moral leadership amongst children.
It requires the ability to have insights into the uniqueness and universality of human consciousness.
True education is the acquisition of enlightened feelings and enlightened powers to understand daily events and to understand the permanent truth linking man, to his environment, human and planetary.
