01UndatedNow the common human perception about the purpose of academic institutions, is that, they are meant to put a stamp of approval on the students, so that later on the students can show off their stamp in order to make a living. The parents invest money to get the stamp, and the child uses that stamp to make more money. Where is the element of education in this whole process!Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
02UndatedAll knowledge is born in the mind, and circumstances make them manifest.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
03UndatedAfter all, what is education, if not the unparalleled means to transcend the self- imposed physical limits of the mind and the body.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
04UndatedAll the calculus, quantum mechanics and languages in the world are worthless pieces of information, if they are not brought to the service of the society.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
05UndatedIf we are to rise as real Sapiens, we must work towards spreading education among the masses.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
06UndatedThe only service to be done for our downtrodden sisters and brother, is to give them education to develop their individuality. We must give them ideas, alongside cultivating their living conditions.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
07UndatedThe methodical implementation of modern human faculties that allow us human beings to transcend the physical limits of biological evolution is Education. However, today, the term education has become somehow synonymous with economic benefits and due to the primeval craving for security, it has disgracefully lost its very core of transcendence into the unknown. Thus, the very evolutionary seeds that gave birth to the method known as education have gone almost extinct in the modern industrialized system of soulless competition and regurgitation. Hence emerged the reason for me to get to the root of its quite unofficially accepted problems, and to concoct the thought processes that would make necessary amendments to the perceptual errors of what I call the three major nodes of education system, which are the teachers, the students and the parents.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
08UndatedEducation is not the amount of information that is pushed into the brain and causes havoc there, undigested all through a lifetime. Education must be a symposium of life-building, character- making and assimilation of ideas in the pursuit of building a more harmonious, peaceful and truly civilized world.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
09UndatedFor self-educated scientists and thinkers such as Charles Darwin, Srinivasa Ramanujan, Leonardo-da-Vinci, Michael Faraday, myself and many others, education is a relentless voyage of discovery. To us education is an everlasting quest for knowledge and wisdom.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
10UndatedIf education were the same as information, the encyclopedias would be the greatest sages in the world.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
11UndatedThe system that aims at educating our boys and girls in the same manner as in the circus where the trainer teaches the lion to sit on a stool, has not understood the true meaning of education itself. Instead of being like a circus where the trainer uses his stick to make animals do stunts to serve the interest of the audience, the system of education should be like an Orchestra where the conductor waves his stick to orchestrate the music already within the musicians’ heart in the most beautiful manner. The teacher should be like the conductor in the orchestra, not the trainer in the circus.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
12UndatedA healthy and ideal system of education would be where a teacher would patiently impart knowledge, instead of curriculum, upon the students, only after assessing their acceptability – where a student would acquire knowledge in order to learn, not to earn – where the parents would be willing to make necessary sacrifices in order to adorn their child with curiosity and thereafter nourish that curiosity, regardless of how absurdly impractical it becomes to the eyes of the society.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
13UndatedThe point is, education in its truest form, is the foundation of all human endeavors. It is the most noble of all the civilized elements of human consciousness. Education enables the humans to achieve their fullest mental and physical potential in both personal and social life. The ability of being educated is what distinguishes humans from animals. You can teach a cockatoo to repeat a bunch of vocabularies, but you cannot teach it to construct a space shuttle and go to the moon.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗

15UndatedThis is not education my friend. It is a process of manufacturing computation devices that look like Homo sapiens, and thereby falsely labeled as Education.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
16UndatedEducation enables the humans to achieve their fullest mental and physical potential in both personal and social life.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
17UndatedAll systems of the society should serve the mind, instead of the mind serving the systems.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
18UndatedMind is the Alpha – Mind is the Omega. There is nothing else in the pursuit of knowledge. And more importantly, there is nothing else in education. All systems of the society should serve the mind, instead of the mind serving the systems.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
19UndatedEducation means nourishing the mind and make it develop in order to see beyond the limitations of current social perception - it means breaking the barriers of the rugged sociological system that impede in the progress of human civilization - it means trying out new things for the first time in human history and succeeding in a few while failing in some. And that is how a species grows to become more advanced.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
22UndatedOnce you die, that’s it – game over. Death is the ultimate cessation of the individual Self.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
24Undatedevery single explanation that your brain concocts about a certain phenomenon on earth, is merely a virtual hunch of the neurons. Now, when your brain has access to more information, the resulting hunch would be more accurate, than another person who has less access.Abhijit Naskar / quote ↗
