Once, back in time my brain asked my soul, “Oh the eternal one, you seem to have answers which books and societies doesn’t have, so tell me what is the difference between getting education and knowledge?”

As usual, my over enthusiastic and joyful soul had an answer at the tip of it’s err tongue. “What is call education now is actually knowledge and definitely the schools now a day does not give education!”

“What!” my confused brain responded.

“Ok,” said my brain, “there are two things:

One is- to accumulate some facts that we hardly use in our daily living and rather accumulate them in our brains as junk space and fill up the memory and thus our super computer brain becomes slow, tensed, tired etc… remember your computer with unnecessary memory usage and slowing down? That’s the Modern education, which is a foolish process of making a slave out of a savage, given by a senior slave. This is actually knowledge and not about getting education.”

The other is- to know what goes inside our soul, our heart and in the heart of those who had that inside them, which made them free, without the fear of ‘consequences’! This is not a part of our Education Systems anywhere on Earth now but that was the way of education in the ancient traditional education system of India. What do you think was the reason of survival of the Indian way for millions of millenniums?”

Around the end of my teenage when this talk of my soul was comprehended, from then started my struggle to achieve this in reality and not just to keep them in words and opinions. We all are capable of feeling something that is strange for our soul but actually doing something to get over this and make the required working-change is the need of time, anywhere and any country!

Good words and are the products of our present day education but the seed of future lies in our “works” towards the achievement of something with our creativity and hard work, not “words”.

Why when something that existed eternally in India as the ideal and perfect way of making “Human Beings” got so much vanished as did the dinosaurs? Well, there are evidences of dinosaurs too and if a creative man called Steven Spielberg can bring back dinosaurs in our present times on screens then why couldn’t the real and true education be brought back in reality. You just have to be more creative than what it takes to bring back dinosaurs on screens, so my research and rewards started since then but I got myself facing a few questions to start DOING all that-

Question #1: How this transition from ‘perfection’ to ‘trash’ happened in India, in terms of the education system?

Question #2: What really is an IQ which is so much of importance and what could be the alternative or the actual thing to have, in each future maker of our Earth- a student/seeker?

Question #3: What’s the need of these times for those who want to bring back the way of perfection for education?

Lets start with answering the above three question.

Answer #1: All degree-holding people of India knows of this one man who brought and promoted the present day education system way back in the 19^th century and ensured that only those will be considered ‘educated’ and ‘schools’ by the so called British Government then, who has this kind of education and will get their jobs and benefits-

He is Mr. Lord McCauley.

He started this in Calcutta. May be that’s the reason why probably nature and Kaal made the start of the revival in Calcutta only, well the revival actually started with Calcutta coming back to the old name ‘Kolkata’.

I call it the ‘Scam of Mr. Lord McCauley’. He was just one aspect of the many enforced dismantling of the most anciently civilized people on Earth in Bharat, which presently have minimized into ‘India’ by the promoters and converters of/to Europe and Arab cultures.

This was done by those who were not satisfied with what they had and went around to loot the world and convert the locals to the Vatican and Arab way of ‘civilizing’ the so called (by them) dirty/ impure and savage nations in Americas, Africa, Asia, Australia and India.

Well here is a part of the speech given by the one responsible for the so called ‘cool education system’ in present day India, which the so-called ‘modern & smart’ Indians cannot do without, Lord McCauley on 1835/ February 2^nd in the British Parliament:

"I have traveled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage and, therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native self-culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation"

In this process the whole world lost the BEST and in turn the world became the worst. The Indians have a very strong survival instinct in their genes and they cannot stay away from the BEST for long and somehow or the other bring back all the wisdom into their and everyone else’s daily lives, soon.

Question #2: What really is an IQ which is so much of importance in the trashy system and what could be the alternative or the actual thing to have in each future maker- a student?

Answer #2: IQ is Intelligence Quotient, related to your brainpower and so then I have “HQ” or Heart Quotient, related to the power of ‘genuine’ goodness in you as being a Truthful Human for Humanity!!

A ‘Truthful Human’ is known not by the amount of brainpower and education he/she has, but is recognized by his ‘actions’ and more so, by the amount of love and selflessness he has put into his actions to make the needful differences into the lives of people.

Someone with a high IQ could fool the judges and the public with their convincing big talks of hypocrisy about what all she/he will do once they becomes a leader, Military Officer, Miss World or celebrity. However, once the people with high IQ become that, they are away from everything except self-gratification. Only if we have a high HQ, we will be of some use for the Earth, or else we are just big-parasites feeding upon the weak and meek.

Getting HQ is much simpler than IQ, for that it just needs a change of your outlook in the world. Write to me if you are genuinely interested and we will take it up further from there.

Question #3: What’s the need of these times for those who want to bring back the way of perfection for education?

I have replied this question in the previous answer and more will follow as this article continues.

As this article I am writing for both the seeker and those who has the capability and power to make the best of changes. So I will firstly write about the qualities of a seeker as was required in a seeker for the eternal education system for being a Truthful Human in the eternal education system of India.

According to our Sanatan (Immortal) Tradition, there are 5 identifying symbols of an Ideal Seeker/ Achiever.

a. Making attempts like a Crow- This is a unique quality of a crow to keep on attempting to find its food until the crow gets it. It won’t rest till the food is found.

b. Concentration like a Crane/Heron/Kingfisher- This bird has a unique quality of an undivided concentration looking at the water for the fish it is searching. When it plunges, it surely catches one.

c. Sleep like a Dog- A student’s sleep must be like a dog that sleeps very deeply but a little sound could wake it up.

d. Less Eater- An ideal student is such who eats less that what he/she can.

e. Home Renounce- If there is a need for leaving your home for education then an ideal student must do it happily.

There are a lot of wise good words available on the net about the beauties of Education and I have collected some of those here especially from one such wise man. But what we need now is the ‘next and final step’ that is to ‘materialize’ wisdom.

‘Materializing’ wisdom in Actions, our own actions!!

So here are those wise and relevant notes I researched from the net-

& The present education is very insufficient, incomplete and superficial. It only creates people who can earn their livelihood like a robot but it does not give any insight into living itself.

& This education is not only incomplete; it is harmful too - because it is based on competition.

& Any type of competition is violent deep down, and creates people who are ‘unloving, un-understanding and judgmental’ towards the others. Their whole effort is to be the achievers: of name, of fame, of all kinds of ambitions. Obviously, they have to struggle and be in conflict for getting this. This destroys their joys and their friendliness.

& Modern Education has been goal-oriented: what you are learning is not important; what is important is the examination that will come a year or two years later. It makes the ‘future’ important - more important than the present which is the greatest present from the Almighty to a man and also a woman! It sacrifices the present for the future and this becomes our very style of life; we are always sacrificing the moment for something which is not present. This creates a tremendous emptiness in life.

& Now the knowledge explosion is so vast, so tremendous, so speedy, that you cannot write a big book on any scientific subject because by the time your book is complete, it will be out of date; new facts, new discoveries will have made it irrelevant. So now science has to depend on articles, on periodicals, not on books.

& Now history consists of Genghis Khan, Tamerlane, Nadir Shah, Adolf Hitler, etc. These are not our history, these are our nightmares! Even the idea that human beings can be so cruel to other human beings is nauseating. Our children should not be fed with such ideas. These people can have only a place in footnotes, or an appendix, with a clear explanation that they were either insane or suffered from some inferiority complex or other psychiatric disorder.

& What is missing in present-day education is the way of living! People have taken it for granted that they ‘know’ what love is. They don't know it but they have that in their heart and soul to be realized within to give out to others, which our education system has nothing to do with...and by the time they realize, it is too late. Every child must be helped to transform his anger, hatred, jealousy, into love.

& An important part of our education must also be about developing a sense of humor. The pressure and turmoil of education and life now makes people sad and serious. And if one third of your life is wasted in a university in being sad and serious while it becomes ingrained in us and we forget the language of laughter. What’s the point anyways in getting serious about life as if you would end up being alive forever; rather let’s make us seriously get involved in seriously doing/acting upon some serious issues of our present day Earth. Smile, a frown will make you drown and a smile will make your own life to smile.

& These birds singing in the trees must not go unheard. The trees and the flowers and the stars do have a connection with our heart and living beautifully. The sunrise and the sunset are not just outside things - they are the bridges to our Soul.

& The education is not complete without the touch of art and creativity: painting, music, craftsmanship, pottery, masonry -- anything that is creative.

& All areas of creativity must be allowed for the students to choose from, because unless a man or a woman learns how to create, he never becomes a part of existence, which is constantly creative. By being creative one becomes divine; creativity like work is a form of prayer.

& Another dimension of education is being aware of the art of dying, that we are sure and aware that in reality there is no death and of the reality of our eternal life. This is an absolute essential, because everybody has to die and nobody can avoid it.

& In a sense almost everybody is uneducated; even those who have great degrees are uneducated in the vaster areas of life. A few are more uneducated, a few are less - but everybody is uneducated, because education as a whole does not exist anywhere.

& The main aim of education must be to encourage students to do what they do best. We all come on this earth with a specific purpose and we must do the things that give us fulfillment and joy and which are in alignment with our purpose. Everybody must be given the chance to sing his own song!

Kimi Mills says, “I always learned more from twirling a stick around in a city-rainbow-rain-oil-puddle than I ever did from sitting in that dark-depressing-pale-green-room all day.”

Sherrillee Davey says, “Competition has little to do with love and honoring the holiness of our brother or sister. I believe a competitive nature is important to move forward, but it must have a win-win attitude surrounding it. Sadly our world is still filled with the attitude of I win and you lose approach this is where the violence comes in.

Through Aamar Nijer-My Own Board of Education I have dedicated my life to this kind of Education and am working upon it since last Seven years and at present I have Five schools following a different pattern of a melting pot of a traditional, holistic and modern day education, which is unlike the existing boards all over the Earth.

This is the World’s FIRST ‘Truthful Human’ making Abode of Love & Education.

Presently my education is attractive to children who are from much humbler and simple/ poorly families so the children of the richer families are still just dreaming about getting such a love-filled ‘Truthful Human’ making total education because may be their parents are still struck with the fear of consequences. I actually want to do much with the rich kids too beacsue they have or may have the possiblity to have more options to make the world better than their poor counterparts.

A friend of mine named Vashist Mittal who is an ex-professor and very much conserned and working about proper education assures me, “I am extreamly thronged by the work you have done and doing. I hail you Korak. If the rich people become aware and receptive then the recurring flow will be much faster. Ultimately to win over this wrong upbringing society we need not only man but also money power. If more intelligent people will to have their children grow like that then it will grow undoubtably.”
