13. Concluding Remarks
Mere intellectual appreciation is not enough for
value inculcation, practical training in purification of
mind is necessary
Inculcation of values is the prime
purpose of education
Self observation at the depth- at the level of
somatic sensations- is the key.
Pure mind is naturally free from acquisitiveness, and full of love,
compassion and equanimity …..herein lies the solution to the
problems facing mankind today
