Only when we are inspired, we go beyond and do things that human beings wouldn't normally do.

<ul><li>The pressure is only because you are putting two absolutely unique beings in comparison.</li><li>Is there one more person exactly like you on this planet? No. There is only one like you. So each being is an absolutely unique being.</li></ul>

Stop Comparing

<ul><li>Only if the teacher's role is to inspire people to learn, to create a thirst for knowledge, only then a teacher's role has something to give.</li></ul>

Role Of A Teacher

<ul><li>A criminal is also concerned about human wellbeing, but his idea of humanity is just himself. Somebody's idea of humanity is him and his family; somebody else's idea of humanity is him and his country; somebody else's includes the whole world.</li><li> Everybody is concerned about human wellbeing in different proportions.</li><li>One big thing that needs to happen with the youth and with everybody, is that their identification with humanity should not be limited to just themselves, and that it includes a larger society and the larger world around them; this is missing in education today</li></ul>

Human Wellbeing 

<ul><li>We want to teach the children how to use their brains, not just to read and write. Reading and writing are important, but using your brains is more important.</li><li>Education should stimulate your brain, not dull your brain.</li></ul>

Use Your Brain

"It would be wonderful if this world was guided by little children, because they are closer to life than anybody else.

<ul><li>It is a natural human trait that when you get to know something that you did not know, it brings much joy to you.</li><li>If learning is making people miserable, then we have not understood what learning is.</li><li>If the thirst for knowledge is kindled in the child, you cannot stop him from learning, he is going to learn anyway.</li></ul>

Learning

<ul><li>Intelligence twisted out against our own wellbeing is no intelligence</li><li>Intelligence is the biggest blessing that a human being has, but right now it has become a curse upon humanity simply because the human being is nocoming out as a well-coordinated being.</li></ul>

Real Intelligence

<ul><li>True human capabilities will not find expression in competition. True human capabilities will find expression only in absolute relaxation.</li><li>When you are trying to race with somebody, you are only thinking of going one step ahead of him, that is all. You are not thinking of what your ultimate potential is.</li></ul>

Stop Racing

<ul><li>Our educational systems have become 100% informative - there is no inspiration.</li><li>Without inspiration, no human being raises beyond the limitations in which he lives.</li><li>Making the whole education system purely informational has caused an enormous damage, and that time of life when you are youthful, when you are capable of many things, that span of life unfortunately goes to waste simply because the necessary inspiration is not there.</li></ul>
