Education Boon or bane?

So far, we have studied that science is either boon or bane. The science is only a skill, we use it. The science can be instrumental either in making destructive weapons or in inventing safeguard measures for the earth. The use of science makes it boon, while misuse makes it bane. It's million dollar question that it's the same science which becomes destructive, while sometime it proves to be welfare step. Whether the science is boon or bane depends on the people's divine or demonic refinement. Such refinement depends on our education. The children learn from everything like the atmosphere, guidance from parents and teachers. The scientists have taken the science at new height in the field of materialistic world. The people are getting prosperous but at the same time, there are fear in their mind. Because, the invention conducted on the basis of bad thoughts always gives bad results. The world have been witnessing such repercussions for the last few decades

The role of education in making science boon or bane

The children take refinement in gestation stage. Whatever the activities mother do, give an imprint on the mind of children. They behave according to such atmosphere. It's life's truth that whatever education and refinement are given to the children, reflect in their invention, research and objectives. Therefore, the science becoming boon or bane depends on education and refinement. Our education will decide the direction of invention. 

Which education is bane

Param Shradheya Sri Swami Jee Maharaj reminds that nothing is great in the world. Whatever is our life, is the result of our small exercises. Our life is filled with small habits. The entire world accepts the importance of education. It's yet to be decided what should be fundamental theory of education. All the countries focus on materialistic development. The great personalities engage in making country prosperous. But at the same time, we forget to ponder over its means in the name of materialistic development. When such ideologies become the part of school syllabus, the nation is grappled with tension and narrow mentality. The country has no mental vitality. The humanity starts to lose its sheen in that country. Those education and refinement from which such ideologies are arisen are the reason behind bane. 

Which education is called boon?

When does the education become boon? When the education is capable of sheltering humanity, making aware of citizens, then it's called boon. The education must contribute in instilling moral values in the people's minds. If the children are given education on religion, spiritualism, nation and service to motherland, they will work in the national interest. They will never indulge in undesirable activities. Our education system must be based on spiritualism. It must contain moral values, ancient traditions and glorification of great personalities. Such education contribute in nation building. The the Britishers tried hard to end ancient traditions and moral values to rule India. However, they succeeded in it. They replaced gurukuliya education system with modern education system to make us slave. Therefore, India needs such education system which can make us free, self reliant and prosperous. 

Where is totality? 

Question arises that which education system can make us prosperous and stop science becoming boon. That education system is our ancient Indian sanatan vedic gurukuliya education system. This system contains education, observing fasting, help, religion, kindness. The entire world is considered as family. 

Yasminsarvani bhutanyatmaivabhudvijanatah I
Tatra ko mohah kah shoka ekatvamanupashyatah II Ish. 7
Yatra vishvam bhavatyekanedam I

In this tradition, education has been considered as tool for getting immortality. The attention is paid to the welfare of the human being. Ishopnishad says this-

Vidyam chavidyam cha yastadvedobhayam sah I
Avidya mrityum tirtvam vidyamritamashnute II

Those education system which glorifies religion and directs people to abide by religious elements can play the important role in making society and nation balance. 

Divine effort

Param Shradheya Sri Swami Jee Maharaj aims at eradicating greed, hunger, ignorance, diseases through Indian education system. Shradheya Swami Jee and Pujya Acharya Jee succeeded in replacing Macaulay education system with Indian education system. We must contribute in this effort and adopt education as boon instead of bane so that the life of everybody can be enlightened.
