5) Education and Society
------------------------
Education is the Manifestation of the PERFECTION already in man
***************************************************************************
What is education? Is it book-learning? NO. Is it diverse knowledge? Not even
that. The training by which the CURRENT and EXPRESSION of will are brought
under CONTROL and become FRUITFUL is called education.
*****************************************************************************
To me the very essence of education is CONCENTRATION OF MIND, not the
collecting of facts. If I had to do my education over again, and had any voice
in the matter, I would develop the Power of CONCENTRATION and DETACHMENT, and
then with a PERFECT instrument I could collect facts at will.
*****************************************************************************
The education which does not help the common mass of people to EQUIP themselves
for the struggle for life, which does not bring out STRENGTH of CHARACTER, a
SPIRIT of PHILANTHROPY, and the COURAGE of a LION- is it worth the name?
*******************************************************************************
Real education is that which enables one to STAND on his OWN legs.
