Education has to tend to the body, mind and spirit, in addition to intelligence. It cannot be confined to the four walls of a building. The Universe is a University for those who care to watch and learn. Awareness is life; so, the farmer, the carpenter, the smith, the sculptor, the merchant - all have the need to be aware of their duties and responsibilities, their skills and standards, which education must foster and fix. Education is no bookworm affair; the process must include study and appreciation of all trades, professions and guilds. It must encourage acceptance of the good and rejection of the bad. Spiritual education is not a distinct and separate discipline; it is part and parcel of all types and levels of education. In fact, it is the very foundation on which a lasting edifice can be built. Secular and spiritual education are like two halves in the seeds of pulses; the germ that sprouts is in between; it is fed by both.
