Question

Educational implications of bhagavad gita

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The true meaning of education:

We may derive the true meaning of education through the virtuous knowledge (Satwika Gyan) as emphasized by Krishna (18:20). Virtuous knowledge is that through which we perceive unity in diversity and sense the Brahma (i.e., God or Parmeshwar) in all the creatures on this earth.

Thus we may accept according to the philosophy of Gita that true education is that which helps one to see the existence of God

(i.e., Brahma) in the soul of an individual Arjun was delusioned at the start of the battle.

Krishna (his Guru) helps him to see the whole epitomised in one individual Krishna, i.e., God Himself. Thus Krishna tries to help Arjun to see point that he (Arjun) cannot kill any one’s soul which resides in Brahma (God) Himself.

2. The ideals of education:

We may analyze the ideals of education into six parts, such as:—

i. To develop virtuous knowledge.

ii. To develop and effect sublimation of personality.

iii. To co-ordinate between the individual and social aim.

iv. To develop the inner consciousness.
