On India
THEME/S
(Extracts from Mother's answers to a few questions from Ashram teachers on what an Indian education should be.)
What is India's real genius and what is her destiny:
To teach the world that matter is false and impotent unless it becomes the manifestation of the Spirit.
National unity is a cause for worry in the whole country. What is the Mother's vision in this regard? How will India fulfil her duty towards herself and the world?
The future of the world tends irresistibly towards the unity of all nations. But for the unity of all nations to be possible, each nation must first realize its own unity.
India is much preoccupied by the linguistic problem. What should be the correct attitude for us in this regard?
Unity must be a living fact and not the imposition of an arbitrary rule. When India will be one, she will have spontaneously a language understood by all.
On Education: Basic Issues of Indian Education
A teacher must absolutely possess the qualities and the consciousness which he wants to see his students acquire.
I would like the Government to recognize yoga as a subject of education, not so much for us [at the Ashram], but because it will be good for the country.
Matter will be transformed, it will be a solid base. Life will be divinized. Let India take the lead of the movement.
