An Ideal Education – Part 1 Sir Ken Robinson with Sadhguru – Transcript
I’m glad that is no perfect school anywhere because this aspiration for Perfection is very debt oriented It’s something that most people have missed The Nature of life is [is] never perfect only [death] is perfect Never has death happen imperfectly Never has life happened perfectly if school is about life Then there is no perfect school Having said that as someone said not him somebody from England no I’m seeing I’m seeing the representation of England Someone said that education is a necessary evil It is a necessary evil because there is a resident evil in the in the world We have very convoluted aspirations in the sense largely most part of the education is trying to manufacture cogs with a larger machine that we have built Our children are the fuel unfortunately? we have to put them into some slot where they’ll function well and When we see the world world is no more about people the world is about the economic engine that we are driving It’s become bigger than us We have to keep the [engine] going we get to stop it for a moment We have to get going now The problem is this that we have created a world if Our economies fail we will be depressed If our economies succeed we’ll be damned for good I Feel it’s better you depressed now talking about a school as a Way of manufacturing cogs for the machine there are many ways [to] do it every nation has its own system If I have to shape you into your particular shape that you must fit into a particular machine. It’s a coil process But now we can’t let the machine fail it [needs] spare parts constantly it has to absorb and Humanity is the spare part So our children are the fuel and the machine parts which go into this to run the larger machine. That’s one aspect So this is why I read rest education in three different dimensions Which people around me is still trying to grasp why these three different things? There is one form of education. Which is called [isha vidya] I think they might have showed something about that This is for the rural masses in India where the problem is they are in a economic and social it with they cannot get out by themselves the only ladder for them is [education] [employment] generating education But there are reasonably well-to-do people where they might have gone through that in the previous generation [but] this generation need not think about how to earn my living They have to look at how to expand who they are So we have is a home school which caters to that This because this kind of education costs money So only people who can afford it can do that because money means not like how it costs here and by Indian standards it costs money and There is another form of education where people are not interested in Serving this machine or that machine they want individuals to blossom so we have issue [Sanskriti] [e] where there is no academic education of any kind they only learn music? Dance Art Sanskrit language kelri which is a very the mother of all martial arts and classical Dance classical music yoga [English] language is the passport of the world? So these children are a treat to watch This is how children should a beam Just to give you a glimpse of what it is At the age of 15 for 3 years they go into Monastic life Compulsively they must go on compulsively they must come out at 18 they cannot continue They’ll take a monastic life for 3 years but after 3 use they cannot continue They have to discontinue that and get back to normal life this is for discipline and focus so I was to initiate this 15 year old and You know the 60 days they are going through from morning 3:30 to 9:00 in the evening They are going through almost 8 hours of meditation varieties of Sadhana completely silent for 60 days 15 year old kids talking and So I want to just another five days left for the initiation I want to see how they are and I go there to 3:30 in the morning to see them All these kids are just sitting like this unknowing I Have I just looked at them and they were literally glowing [I]? Sat there [and] wept because I have never seen children like this in my life Definitely. I was not like this when [I] was 15. I was nowhere near what they are today but You can’t make the entire world like [that] This is an ideal To work towards the idea of this kind of schooling is just to develop human body and human brain without any intention Without any intention as to what they should become they can become whatever they want only thing is human body and human mind should go to its fullest capability and if Attention is the main thing and indiscriate [and] unprejudiced Attention is what we’re trying to evolve in the children that they learn to pay attention to everything the same way That you don’t divide the world as something as good and something as bad something high something low Something divine something devil something will be something sacred. No you learn to pay the same attention to everything This is the fundamental of this form of education What will they do what will they do is the aspiration [so] I? Guaranteed them one thing 12 years if you enter the school the commitment is for 12 years you Have to fix if you come 18 of you you can leave so they asked me what will the children do I said one thing i assure you we will not give you [a] certificate at the end They said sadguru what? I said [did] anybody ask me. What is my certification Only in the American [embassy] they asked me you [know] when I almost were 20 years ago or 18 years ago when I went to apply for [the] Visa to [come] to United States The counsil general wanted to make me so is the lady. I went to meet her and she said yes I know what you have done and all this but do you have a yoga certification because in America you will need this i said if I had asked for a certification from my guru he would have killed me so I don’t have so [I] said no certification because doors in the world may open little slowly for you but when they open they stay open Because not because of qualification but by competence you open doors subtitle
