Education and Moral Values
Students are the future of our Nation. We are taught moral lessons at home and in school such as love the fellow human beings, respect elders, avoid wrong things never speak lies, love your country, don't be jealous, etc. But now a days, everywhere crime flourishes, we see corruption; old peolple are sent out of home and treated badly. people are unaware of the truth. Jealousy has become the overall base of life.
The importance of life should not be taught, but should be trained. We want to have the training through which we can develop feelings of love and brother-hood. It is the responsibility of our parents and teachers to make future builders of the Nation.
In older days, we used to have "Gurukul" type of education system in Nepal. The sutdents of Gurukul lived a life of tutelage and learnt everything taught putting in a lot of hardwork. In the Gurukul every student wa treated eqully irrespective of caste and economic status. The sutdents are supposed to leave their homes and their loved one and come to live at the Gurukul Ahsram for years to learn the lessons of life from the guru. At the end of the training, the sutdents emerged as responsible individuals who were well learned and capable of undertaking any chalenge in life. We can explain it in the same way as mud made by Gd being beautifully moulded as water j ug by the potter. We can further apply it to our own lifes. Our physical body makers are our parents, like god. But our life makers are our gurus (teachers) who give us a particular turn, hape to our life, just lieka a potter.
