We don’t care for the word uttered by us while worshiping the God. There is a beautiful line in the Hanuman Chalisa ‘vidyavan guni ati chatur’. Goswami Tulsidas Jee has written this line because he was eager to do godly works. Today’s education system makes people cleaver. They became neither virtuous nor eager for godly work. Probably, our education system provides degree and jobs but at the same time, it fails to instil refinement. In that time Ravana held higher degree and nobody was parallel to him. But due to lack of virtues, Ravana is killed every year. Refinement is not a medicine which can be inserted in the people. Therefore, the people need to understand refinement. In simple word, refinement is such ornament through which everything turns beautiful. As ornament is used in sentence to make it beautiful, refinement also makes such impact on the human being. We can see the smog in the burning sandal. We can only feel that scent. Refinement looks like such scent.

When we talk about refinement in the modern lifestyle, it seems that somebody is delivering sermons. I asked a question regarding refinement at yog camp, she replied that she tuned to the sanskar channel to watch Swami Jee. Somebody laughed at her. Nobody has time to think over refinement. Certainly, various educational institutions are providing unrefined education to the students. It has no capacity to face challenges before family, society, nation, etc. According to an estimate, India is the youngest country in the world. But at the same time are these youths ready to face challenges of 21st century? When we listen about anti-India slogan at some universities in the country, it seems that their refinement lacks something.

Today, most of the teachers choose education sector for their livelihood. There is nothing bad to do so. But if money is so important then why did school education lose importance? Moreover, the parents’ priorities are getting changed. They leave no stone unturned to invest in materialistic facilities of the children. In that condition, such lines of Swami Vivekanand assume significance that “our time and good refinement are the great things to invest on the children”.       

Moreover, parents are the first teacher of instilling refinement in the children. They must instil good refinement to the children. Apart from parents and teachers, family, society and educational atmosphere play an important role in development of children’s personality. Therefore, the children themselves must be aware and conscious. With passage of time, body is undergone many hormonal changes. Their friend circle gets diversified. Therefore, parents and teachers must play the role of friend with the children whose own decision makes great impact on their life. They must be disciplined. They will face many challenges in their life. Discipline will protect them from deviating from path. Gardner looks after all the plants equally. But the plants develop no equal flowers and fruits. The first sutra of Yog Darshan is --- “Atha yoganushasanam”, therefore, the children must be aware of yog.

Children have great interest and capacity to learn. They are filled with immense energy. Their questions are of diversified and logical. Finding no solution, they start to gather information from various means. Whatever they feel, they try to experiment it. They must be provided with atmosphere for better result of their experience and experiment. Unnecessary chiding and providing imaginary solution to their questions make detrimental effect to their development. As the cement needs water in initial stage to get strengthened, similarly, good refinement should be instilled in the childhood.

Children are advised to take care of our atmosphere…

Because, you will be reason behind country becoming prosper…

Therefore, it’s need of the hour that refinement should be instilled it the mind of children so that it can become their nature.

With the passage of time, many definitions get changed. Diet, behaviour and thought are getting changed. Despite, Indian philosophy and Indian traditions are showing path to people in India and in the world. These are the speciality of our Indian culture and refinements.

In the Indian culture, activities from gestation stage to death have been linked with refinement. Therefore, every child born here in India gets refined spontaneously. Refinement needs to be beatified. Initially, children’s mind is like fresh paper upon which everything can be written. It gets imprinted in their mind. Therefore, parents’ role assumes significance. As soon as the children start to walk and speak, they are admitted to the school. Despite, house is the first school of the children.

There was a time when students go to gurukul system for getting education. Such education system was popular in the entire world. We can blame the Macaulay Education System for providing unrefined education to the students, but at the same time, the society also missed opportunity in this direction. Refined education is getting flourished under the sheer guidance of Param Pujya Swami Jee Maharaj. Patanjali Gurukulam, Vedic Gurukulam, Vedic Kanya Gurukulam, Acharyakulam Patanjali University brought a ray of hope. Watering plants and washing fruits are called refinement. Pujya Guruvar played an important role in bringing back glory to yog, ayurved and indigenous. The refinement is instilling in children through these institutions. This initiative must bring revolution and glorify India in the entire world. Under the sheer guidance, the teachers of these schools aim at not only at earning money but also instilling refinement in the children who will be instrumental in bringing prosperity in the country. A big education revolution is being heard in the country in the days to come.

Children are those buds, which will glorify the world by becoming great personalities, Children are that soil, which will make country, society and nation great.
