He has to understand to their very root the qualities of thing he deals in and the means of obtaining or producing it and he has to apply all his sagacity and energy to producing or obtaining it in perfect state and distributing it at the cheapest possible price where it is most needed 10. EDUCATION TO INCLUDE EDUCARE "Education has two aspects; the first is related to external and worldly education, which is nothing but acquiring bookish knowledge. In the modern world, we find many well versed and highly qualified in this aspect. The second aspect known as Educare, is related to human values. The word Educare means to bring out that which iswithin. Human Values are latent in every human being; one cannot acquire them from outside. They have to be elicited from within. Educare means to bring out human values. To 'bring out' means to translate them into action." 11. It comes from 'educere', a Latin word meaning to draw out, because we draw out the values which are inherent in a human being, rather than impose anything on children from outside. Educare therefore refers to a whole system of education which provides practical knowledge for educating for life, and not just for earning a living. 12. LOVE Using the power of energy Love is not an emotion, affected by the sub-conscious mind, but Is a spontaneous, pure reaction from the heart. It is the power of love which causes one person to wish happiness for another and take pleasure in their well-being. A beneficial energy (love) is directed towards the other person. As this energy flows through our own body first, it also enhances our own health. Love is having an unconditional positive regard for the good of another. It is giving and unselfish. Love is essential if children are to grow up healthy in mind and body. Love is the unseen undercurrent binding all the other four values together. 13. Peace - Using the tool of the mind We smile when we are happy and contented. Contentment is gained when we refuse to give ourselves all the apparent 'good' things conveyed to us through our five senses.When our will is sufficiently strong to enable us to discern the difference between real needs and superfluous desires, we cease to be driven by the urge to own more and more things.Inner agitation stops and we are left feeling peaceful. When there is peace in the individual, there will be peace in the family, when there is peace in the family, there will be peace in the community.In order to learn self esteem, calmness and freedom from anxiety are necessary. These qualities are fostered by the y silent sitting and the self-reflective exercises. 14. Truth Discrimination and IntellectDesire to know Truth has prompted mankind to ask some of the great questions such as Who Am I or What is the purpose of this life?Learning to speak the truth is a vital step in the formation of a strong character. Voicing an untruth is an anti-social act and causes confusion in the mind of both the speaker and the listener and leads to anti-social behaviour. 15. Right Conduct - Using the tool of the body Information is received through the fivesenses, i.e. smell, taste, sight, touch and hearing. When this information is referred to the conscience, the resulting action will be beneficial. Every action is preceded by a thought. If the thought is consciously seen and noted, it aims to assist and is unselfish, the action will be good for oneself and others. If our minds are busy, or we are daydreaming, the action may be useless, clumsy or harmful to ourselves and others. 16. Non Violence Awakening the Sprit WithinFor the non-violent person the whole world is his family. When the former four values are practised (i.e. )The conscious mind is keenly aware, love is overflowing, there is peace and actions are undertaken without harm or violation to anything else. It is the highest achievement of the human to live and with encompassing respect for all life living in harmony with nature and not hurting by thought, word or deed. 17. Empathy-Ability to understand and share the feelings of other 18. Re-Imagination of Learning 19. Re-Imagination of Books 20. Re-Imagination of Education 21. What Can You DO Do What You Can To Innovate, Create Jobs. Engage in Politics Help Others Understand Key IssuesImprove Education. 22. Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well. Aristotle The teacher must derive not only the capacity, but the desire, to observe natural phenomena. The teacher must understand and feel her position of observer: the activity must lie in the phenomenon. Maria Montessori 23. The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. William Arthur Ward If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher. Abdul Kalam 24. It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. Albert Einstein 25. IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING There is nothing that training cannot do. Nothing is above its reach or below it. It can turn bad morals to good, good morals to bad; it can destroy principles, it can recreate them; it can debase angels to men and lift men to angels. And it can do any of these miracles in a year -even six months. -Mark twain 26. FAITH COMPRISES OF THREE COMPONENTS OF SUBJECTIVE ENERGIES Desire Belief Expectancy 27.

DEFINITION - Dan Siegels definition of mind A core aspect of the mind can be defined as an embodied and relational process that regulates the flow of energy and information. Brain collection of cells called neurons and has a spider like formation Relationship: shared symbolic information flow with others SELF YOU WE 35. Your subconscious is a simple stimulus-response mechanism. It holds all the automatic processes that make your life possible and all the conditioning that you have accumulated through your life. Theres a lot of good and necessary programming in there: how to breathe, how to pump blood, how to fight off infection, how to walk, how to drive a car. You cant live without the million little tasks that are carried out by your subconscious mind. If you were aware of all these activities at once, they would overwhelm you. Thats why consciousness is set up so that you dont have to pay attention to them. They are carried out subconsciously. However, your subconscious also houses those little devils that get in your way: the habitual tensions, negative emotions, and limiting beliefs that run counter to your best and highest intentions. How do you neutralize these little devils? Youve got to go yet deeper into a third layer of your being, your subtle energy system 36. Training your marvelous mind 37.
