Education

 

EDUCATION is the science and art of unfolding values hidden from view. The ideal of education is to unfold Total Knowledge for every student, so that nothing remains hidden from view. All knowledge has its holistic basis in the unmanifest transcendental field of life, at the basis of everything and everyone. The field of Total Knowledge, the supreme field of education, is located in the field of the science and technology of total Natural Law—the Unified Field of all the Laws of Nature.

‘Knowledge is not gained through books. Veda is not known through books. No. You experience, and then you know whatever you are reading is the right thing, is a good thing, is a good thing. Without experience, you’ll always keep on searching where is that, where is that, what is this omnipresent, omniscient?’

‘It’s the experience that is total knowing-ness—experiences. Knowing by Being is experience. That means Total Knowledge equates with experience.’

____

‘Total Knowledge is not on the level of reading. No! It’s only on the level of Being, Being—experience, experience, experience. And experience is so simple. Experience is so simple, because you don’t have to go out for anything.’

‘ “Veda” means knowledge. “Vedic” means pertaining to knowledge. Now, when we say Veda* is knowledge, we mean Veda is Total Knowledge. Then what we present is the unified state of knowledge with the knowledge of all the diversified components of the unified structure of knowledge.’
______

‘Where is the knowledge? The knowledge—Total Knowledge—is in the unmanifest, in the transcendental reality. What we want people to know from theory and practice, what we want people to know by way of knowledge and by way of action, what we want people to have is authority over the unmanifest. The unmanifest is now discovered in terms of the self-referral Unified Field. That, in Vedic terms, is Yoga, Vedant—the basis of all action.’
______

‘We want to have our awareness fully awake on that level of reality which is totally self-referral. Being self-referral, it is transcendental. Being transcendental, it is the basis of all life.’
______

‘Our awareness is aligned with this field of the unmanifest, transcendental Being—Transcendental Consciousness. In this is this and that and everything. The total field of knowledge is—we derive it mathematically and experience it personally—on the level of the Unified Field.’
______

‘Vedic Knowledge is knowledge in its total form—Total Knowledge, total action possibility. Only he who has the torch can be expected to show the beam of light to others. We have the knowledge, and we are proud of the knowledge.’
______

‘Vedic Education is not for becoming a servant of someone; it is not employment oriented. We hear these words, “Education should be employment oriented.” Those who do not know what education can be, make a very short hit on the ultimate reality of education.’

*Veda, Total Knowledge, is the inner reality of everyone’s life. Veda is the totality of Natural Law, and it is the source of all branches of knowledge, of all sciences, of all religions. Vedic wisdom is independent of time and can never be lost, because it has its holistic basis in the unmanifest transcendental field of life.
