style='mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt'>All education, all culture means drawing this
inner light to the front. Indeed the word 'education' literally means, 'to
bring out.' Plato also pointed to the same truth when he said that education is
remembrance. You remember what is imbedded or secreted with <span class=GramE>in,</span>
you bring to the light, the light of your physical mind, what you have within,
what you already possess in your being and inner consciousness. Acquisition is
not education. Indeed a miser is not a rich man, rich is he who knows how to <span
class=SpellE>utilise</span> his wealth, even so a possessor of much information
is only a carrier of loads.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

style='mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt'>True education is growth of consciousness. It
is consciousness that carries the light and the power of the light. We are born
upon earth with this consciousness at the centre of our being. And a growing
child is nothing but a growing consciousness. Growth of consciousness means an
increasing intensity and an increasing amplitude or wideness of the light.
Unfortunately, placed as we are under the circumstances of life as it is, this light
of consciousness is not allowed to grow in its natural and normal way. The
external demands of life and the world put a pressure upon it which turns it
away from its straight path. Things are demanded of this light or <span
class=GramE>consciousness which do</span> not belong to its nature, which are
not an expression of its nature. As though it is twisted, tortured or smothered
under utilitarian necessities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

class=SpellE>For that guidance is
needed so that one may always turn within and look for that consciousness, feel
it growing, and with one's will and thought and act help its growth and development.
A brain is not developed by the mass of information that may be pressed into
it. Informations are necessary but they should be presented in such a way that
they serve as fuel, helpful fuel to the mounting fire; they must not be merely
piled up upon and around the fire or be as so many wet faggots crushing it down
with their weight. A true learner is one who seeks sincerely this inner
consciousness which is one's own; the true teacher is one who knows how to
lead the learner towards this inner light.</span></p>
