The Need To Include Spirituality In Education
When between the best and worst possibilities. When forces of nity and harmony can triumph, and sciences and technology can be used to end overt and deprivation, precisely at that time, the forces of violence and impulses f baser human nature are pressing Or ward on a global scale. Rationality ppears to be overtaken by forces of nreason. Developments in the fields of compuers, robotics and artificial intelligence veer earlier envisaged only in science fiction: now, we are living in a post human world where we are increasingly taking rious manifestations of artificial intelligence and human-machine symbiosis our stride. However, our moral calibreis et to keep pace with these developments. The focus of education has been more material improvements and pecuniary benefits, rather than on holistic growth of mind, body and spirit. The moral growth of man has not matched his vast strides in other fields. If we want to build a new and make the world a safer place for future generations, we must attempt to raise the individual's moral stature by forming an inclusive approach to education. We must assist the students, to rest a while in the inns of re legions, moral and spiritual, academic consciousness. Thus edified, let them rise and proceed refreshed and encouraged. It is imperative that we educate students to explore deeper and higher dimensions of human resources so they can successfully work forth fulfilment of their ideal dreams. Our teachings need to turn to the dimensions of values, will power and cultural, ethical and spiritual potentialities. For an inclusive education philosophy, the following could be useful pointers: 1. Education should teach a student about the real nature of the individual and Nature. 2. Demonstrate that all life is a play of consciousness with itself. . Relate the evolution of living success to the movement of conscious life towards increasing higher levels of awareness. 4. Declare the purpose of each life to be the realisation of divine potential. 5. Teach students the art of dynamic equilibrium so that they never tend to extremes, but tread the middle path. 6. Educate to train our mind so that we always live in the present. 7. Teach students to exert their utmost to achieve their objectives as if everything depended on their effort, yet simultaneously also realise that all everare divinely ordained. 8. Make students take life as it come accept whatever comes as a gift from the Divine and remain in a state of equilibrium under all circumstances. 9. Help students to be steadfast in views, but not claim exclusive truth for their doctrines; to be ready to accept alternative versions of the truth. 10. Integrate with modern doctrines science, gender, parity, liberty, equality and fraternity and human rights. When spirituality will be completely embraced in our educatisystem, our students will not only m a living in this physical world, but AL make living a success, and experieneevery moment of life as new, every das a day of uplift and blessing, and enjoy lasting peace.
