The Visva-Bharati Quarterly Education Number May—October 1947

1947

It is the duty of every human being to master at least to some extent not only the language of the intellect but also that of the personality which is the language of Art. [...] It is not the organization and co-ordination of the various institutions that is important but as he himself puts it—"I have set all my resources to create an atmosphere of ideas in the asrama." The more a teacher is imbued with the feeling that he is in the asrama because of his own innermost need and not because of his ambition for doing benefit to others the better does he function. [...] The quality of the lessons the perfection of method the knowledge of subjects—all this is undoubtedly relevant but what is important is that there should be no distrust of the spirit lurking in his mind no consciousness of self-importance no inclination to look for the cause of his failures outside him and in others. [...] The education the desires and the pursuits of those whom we call gentlefolks and the opportunities they enjoy belong to the dry cave on one side of the dead river : an impassable distance separates them from those who are on the other side in knowledge and beliefs customs and habits and the mode of daily life. [...] It is by means of the nervous system that the feeling of the limbs is transmitted to the brain and the body becomes conscious of itself by the united consciousness of its limbs.
