Excerpts from discourse by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
I feel there are three important aspects to education: First is information, second is observation and third is intuition.
Often, when we think of education, we think it is only gathering information; that is not sufficient. You need to have keenness of mind - a mind that is alert and sharp to absorb what is happening around, and what is happening within. Ethics is listening to the consciousness that is deep within, and acting accordingly when it comes to social interactions.
We need to take responsibility for the atmosphere that we are living in. That attitude of taking responsibility for our own environment makes a big difference. It can make you very happy and motivate you to take up more work.
Observation is an important aspect of education, which has not been given enough attention by the educational institutions.
