New Age Spirituality - Are You Educated .... ?

"'Education... is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested all your life.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?... We must have life-building, man-making, character-making assimilation of ideas....

The most important method of education is ...

The most important method of education is developing the power of concentration and detachment. The mind of an ordinary man only partially attends to the object it has to deal with. Through concentration, all the powers of the mind can be brought to bear upon one object. It has then tremendous power to which the secret of the object of study reveals itself. Says the great Swami Vivekananda: 'If I had to do my education once again, I would not study facts at all. I would develop the power of concentration and detachment; then with a perfect instrument, (i.e. mind) collect facts at will."

'The training by which the current and expression of will are brought under control and become fruitful, is called education.'
