Teaching

1. He alone teaches who has something to give.

2. Negative thought weakens. Do you not find that where parents are constantly taxing their sons to read and write, telling them they will never learn anything, and calling them fools and so forth, the latter do actually turn out to be so in many cases?

If you speak kind words to boys and encourage them, they are bound to improve in time. What holds good of children, also holds good of children in the region of higher thoughts.

If you can give them positive ideas, people will grow up to be men and learn to stand on their own legs. In language and literature, in poetry and arts--------------in everything we must point out not the mistakes that people are making in their thoughts and actions, but the way in which they will gradually be able to do these things better. Pointing out mistakes wounds a man’s feelings.

3. No one was ever really taught by another; each of us has to teach himself.

4. There is no other teacher but your own soul.

5. You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.

6. All teaching, implies giving and taking.

7. Education can never be carried out by criticism or discouragement. Only he who sees the noblest thing in the taught can be an effective teacher.

8. None can teach another.

9. Without real sympathy we can never teach well.

10. You have to teach yourself.

11. None can teach you; none can make a spiritual man of you.

12. The first test of true teaching must be, that the teaching should not contradict reason.

13. Be positive; do not criticise others. Give your message, teach what you have to teach, and there stop.

14. Take the hands away and there is light; the light exists always for us, the self-effulgent nature of the human soul.

· Men must have education. They speak of democracy, of the equality of all men, these days. But how will a man know he is equal with all?

· Whenever you learn (gain anything) from another man’s words, know that you had the experience in a previous existence, because experience is the only teacher.

· Let positive, strong, helpful thought enter into their brains from very childhood. Lay yourselves open to these thoughts, and not to weakening and paralysing ones.

· My motto is to learn whatever good things I may come across anywhere.

Until the inner teacher opens, all outside teaching is in vain.

Education

1. Learn everything that is good from others, but bring it in, and in your own way absorb it; do not become others.

2. Study, and then meditate on what you have studied.

3. The secret of life is not enjoyment, but education through experience.

4. The object of life is to learn.

5. The more we know the better for us.

6. You have to teach yourself; your growth must come from inside.

7. It is man-making education all round that we want.

8. Learn everything that is good from others, but bring it in, and in your own way absorb it; do not become others.

9. We must have life-building, man-making, character-making assimilation of ideas.

10. Men must have education. They speak of democracy, of the equality of all men, these days. But how will a man know he is equal with all?

11. Whenever you learn (gain anything) from another man’s words, know that you had the experience in a previous existence, because experience is the only teacher.

12. Let positive, strong, helpful thought enter into their brains from very childhood. Lay yourselves open to these thoughts, and not to weakening and paralysing ones.

13. My motto is to learn whatever good things I may come across anywhere.

14. Until the inner teacher opens, all outside teaching is in vain.

15. A child teaches itself.

16. A child educates itself.

17. Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man....Real education is that which enables one to stand on one's own legs. The education that you are receiving now in schools and colleges is only making you a race of dyspeptics. You are working like machines merely, and living a jellyfish existence.

18. We have wept long enough; no more weeping, but stand on your feet and be men. It is a man-making religion that we want. It is man-making theories that we want. It is man-making education all around that we want. And here is the test of truth--------------------anything that makes you weak physically, intellectually and spiritually, reject as poison; there is no life in it, it cannot be true. Truth is strengthening. Truth is purity, Truth is all knowledge. Truth must be strengthening, must be enlightening, must be invigorating.

19. There is only one purpose in the whole of life--------------------EDUCATION.

20. ALL KNOWLEDGE IS WITHIN US. ALL PERFECTION IS THERE ALREADY IN THE SOUL.

21. HE WHOSE BOOK OF THE HEART HAS BEEN OPENED NEEDS NO OTHER BOOKS.
