Consciousness Change, Self-Transformation and Awakening of Intelligence through Education
For Students, Educators, Parents, Policy Makers and Working Professionals
Challenges in Educational Landscape
Our contemporary society is constructed upon divisive elements, including identification with beliefs, nationalities, and religions, as well as fostering competition, ambition, insecurity, and greed. Students often find themselves ensnared in the intricate web of their own desires, expectations, fears, ambitions, comparisons, insecurities, and the relentless pursuit of validation and recognition. This entanglement deepens as societal norms, parental expectations, and tradition shape their perspectives.
A significant concern for both parents and educational institutions revolves around securing admission for their children and students into "top" universities. This pursuit is driven by the desire for prestigious job opportunities, societal respectability, and increased school admissions. Students don’t follow what they love to do, but they conform to that which can get them money, security and endless gratification.
Many parents aspire for their children to achieve success and security, leading them to conform to societal expectations. In this pursuit, the "me" or "self" becomes solely concerned with its own interests, contributing to the proliferation of division, inequality, ruthlessness, imitation, conformity, fear, and violence in the world. Similarly, nations act in their self-interest, resulting in global issues such as war, conflict, poverty, discrimination, and environmental degradation.
Unfortunately, within this environment of competition, expectation and insecurity the mind of the child becomes dull and conditioned, lacking the essential presence and awareness necessary for genuine learning to take root. To cope with the chaos and disorder of everyday life, students often turn to escapes such as intoxicants and video games or isolate themselves from society. This reliance on escapes fosters a mechanical mind, trapped in habit, and consequently, one that is not free to love, observe and learn.
Rethinking Education: Self-transformation and Awakening Intelligence
The current societal framework, comprising states and religions, has been shaped by a human mind entangled in self-interest, attachment, and fear. Attempts to induce change through external means, such as laws or morals enforced by social reformers, politicians, and lawmakers, have proven insufficient. For centuries, the belief has persisted that human nature is unchangeable or can only be altered through environmental modifications like laws and legislation.
Despite efforts like value education classes and moral teachings in schools, the core issue often remains unaddressed. Knowledge of love does not equate to love, and the idea of non-violence alone does not eradicate violence. While students acquire knowledge in subjects like mathematics and science, the crucial aspect is the awakening of intelligence. This awakening allows students to place knowledge in its rightful place, preventing it from causing division or destruction. True transformation occurs through inner change and the awakening of the human being.
Only when the individual understands the “me” can they go beyond the “me,” creating the foundation for the right relationships that define a healthy society. This understanding of “self” brings negation to that which is false and awakens intelligence and love, which is neither permanent nor impermanent.
Ultimately, the purpose of education extends beyond securing a job and a house. It is about living a life rooted in goodness, peace, and compassion. This renewed human being, free from the self, becomes a responsible individual capable of responding to life's challenges wholly, without creating divisions and destruction. Only such individuals can contribute to creating a new society. This society is not a utopia or a far-fetched idea but an actuality, born out of love and compassion.
