v Santa Claus is real to children as they get their
presents from him during Christmas.
v They outgrow Santa Claus when they know it is the
parents who give the Christmas presents.
v Santa
Claus is a reality to the child's imagination.
v The uneducated vital man in prosperous nations
considers social benefits as Christmas presents and Society his Santa Claus.
v The educated non-mental vital man, not knowing the
origin of genius or luck or even science, finds them miraculous.
v Miracle is the higher plane working in lower
planes.
v Prof. Hardy's sense of
wonder at Ramanujam's six theorems on the spot arose
because he was unaware of the workings of Genius.
v The world is educated enough and informed enough to
overcome the various superstitions of Science fostered assiduously by the elite
of the world.
v The mentally awakened child's performance is a miracle
to the highly educated man, as he is uninformed of the potentials of the mind.
v Glenn Doman's discovery
of the activated muscles awakening mental faculties still remains in the domain
of the miraculous for the world.
v That is an asset to bring the tension of excess mental
energy in balance by the wider potentials absorbing them.
v Body is the foundation and pedestal for the higher
development of mental faculties.
v There is one more important part of our being which
energises. It is the vital. What Doman has done for
the body, we must do for the vital.
v All non-physical, non-mental characteristics are
vital, as attention.
v Attention is the physical version -- or vital
version -- of affection that is psychic. Attention
in education pays enormous dividends. We have to work out the physiological
details of what faculties of mind are awakened in which measure by what type of
attention. It will be a vaster domain than what Glenn discovered.
v Body, Vital, Mind and Spirit are the four parts of
our being. Beyond the Spirit lie Supermind and The Mother.
v Each of these planes divides into Consciousness and
Substance, which become twelve parts of six planes.
v The consciousness and substance have their surface as
well as depths making the twelve into 24 parts.
v When we stop our process of dividing here, we have 24
parts acting on each other resulting in 24 to the power of 24, or in
permutations and combination an infinite number of possibilities.
v Sri
Aurobindo's The Life Divine as well as Synthesis of Yoga are
compendiums of the theory and practice of these interplays for the purposes of
yoga.
v Education is the yoga of the society.
v Those who are capable of this knowledge in this
amplitude and complexity must use the classroom not as a work spot, but as a
laboratory.
v To uncover the ways of the growth of human
consciousness in the process of acquiring knowledge and capacity, the twin
aspects of Personality, is a rewarding work of a lifetime for about a few
hundred researchers in education and yoga.
v To organise that project, one needs to know The
Life Divine in greater thoroughness and needs to practise
it in the life of a student.
v The one great student available is oneself.
v Until we become conscious of ourselves, we can do so in
the students.
v A higher compromise is one's own child.
v No more
Santa Claus of morality, ethics, service, worship, YOGA, or superstitions of
scientific varieties.
