Education at a deep level means to ‘lead out’ what is trying to be born from within. The job of a true teacher is to help awaken the inner pupil that has its own way of being and unique way of perceiving the world.

About This Quote

It is difficult for people to understand the true meaning of education. To many people, it seems like a personal quest to teach others about the world. However, education means to help others develop themselves. It’s not about what the teacher knows, but rather how they can help others become who they truly are.

Education at its basic level is an opportunity for everyone to explore their inner-self and learn how to perform tasks using their unique talents. The goal of all education is that it will generate new possibilities in each individual’s life.
