Education by connecting to the Universal Laws: We have heard of the learned scholar travelling in a boat with the boatman and boasting of his education. He repeatedly asks the boatman about his awareness of various subjects and when the boatman pleads ignorance, the scholar tells him how he has wasted some part of his life. Suddenly, there appears a hole in the boat. Now the boatman asks the scholar whether he knows how to swim, but now the scholar pleads ignorance and the boatman before jumping in the water tells him that his whole life is wasted. Doesn’t this story depict the state of current educational system?
The author, Santosh Sharma gives a good example of how a thief could only be a better thief if he were taught how to think laterally. That is what exactly our education system would do. Our education system
is potent to make us ready for the jobs and no more. It does not cater to an individual as a whole human being. It is not holistic in nature. Is it not the reason that we have educated people who are a cause of million dollars scams? Is it not the reason that we have educated people who resort to things like terrorist activities? Our education needs to go deeper; we need to connect to the Universal Laws.
