WHAT IS WRONG WITH EDUCATION?

Our whole education is based on jealousy and envy. We go on saying to people, ”Do not be envious,
violent and jealous,” but our whole education is rooted in jealousy. We point to one child and say to
the other, ”See how intelligent he is, and how dull you are. Be like him!” Thus we are creating envy
and jealousy.
What are we creating in the mind of this child? We are pouring the poison of envy into him. We do
not love this child. This poison will flow through his veins, through his mind, for his whole life. The
child will always want to be ahead of everyone – and the joke of it all is that nobody ever has been
ahead of all, and there is no joy in being ahead. What has joy to do with being ahead of somebody?
What relation can peace have to being ahead of somebody? No, this is a fundamentally wrong
teaching.
This ambition, and the educational system revolving round that center of ambition, is wrong.AND RESULT IS A WORLD WORSE THAN HELL! If we
want to create a new world we will have to change this center and create some new center.

 The center of education should be love.
