1) There is a global consensus against child labor but it continues due to shortcomings in educational policy.
2) Mainstream education in countries like India cuts students off from practical skills and subjects like agriculture, making them ill-prepared for the job market.
3) This leads to high unemployment and drop-out rates, pushing some into the very child labor the policies aim to abolish or other problems like crime.
4) The author argues child labor can be reduced by reforming education to nurture practical, productive skills in addition to cognitive development. Regular remembrance of God or gurus through practices like Namasmaran may also help.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. I have not gone through the international
law or the details of WTO. But I have an
impression that there is a consensus all
over the world about banning child labor.
Any sensitive and sensible individual
would not like a child to undergo the
coercion of daily labor for survival.
Apparently; this conscientious feeling has
been transformed into international
consensus.
But child labor continues. The egalitarian
desire of banning it and making laws
arbitrarily have not been adequately
satisfactory and effective.
The reason for this is; child labor is a
result of educational policy that is bereft
3. of productive domain. The students in the
mainstream education (in countries like
India) are cut off from agriculture,
handicraft and simple productive skills.
They are cut off from the actual
necessities of real life, in terms of art and
science. They are dragged into unrealistic
and parasitic education that is far from
the reality of life and hence irrelevant in
terms of philosophy, culture, traditions,
literature, economy, agriculture and even
health, fitness and medicine.
Further this education is unnecessarily
and highly dependent on books,
calculators, computers and other teaching
and learning aids. Lately this education
system seems to be dragged into serving
the elitist frenzies and idiosyncrasies
revolving around five star hotels, credit
4. cards, fashion designing, cosmetics, and
insurance business and so on.
In India (I don’t know for sure, about
other countries) the traditional education
system involved training of every
individual right from the early childhood
in a certain productive skill in addition to
the ethics involved in that profession. As a
result the family, village and the whole
country was financially nourished by
every growing child. The child enjoyed
learning skills with its parents and family
members. The cognitive, affective and
psychomotor domains were thoroughly
nurtured.
Today that is not the case. The children in
unproductive education become liabilities
right from the beginning in spite of their
5. tendency to enjoy learning skills and self
sufficiency!
The mainstream education produces child
drop outs that become the vulnerable and
easily available helpless child labor. This
education produces the graduates who
are unable to get self employed. As a
result they either become unemployed,
frustrated and suicidal mental wrecks or
unemployed, frustrated but arrogant
criminals. Unemployment in a healthy job
or profession is one of the important
reasons for this youth to get dragged into
perverted and indiscriminate violence
also.
Hence child labor and the indiscriminate
violence continue as if it is inevitable.
There is a kind of helpless or callous
6. passiveness or frantic and unwise
sentimental uproar to abet it.
Child labor can be effectively stopped if
the education nurtures productive
domain besides, cognitive, psychomotor
and affective domains. This is possible if
the decision makers and the others
concerned become more objective and
global in their perspective.
Can practice of NAMASMARAN by
everyone; would prove useful in this?
BUT
WHAT IS
NAMASMARAN?
Namasmaran means; remembering the name
7. of God, Guru, great souls; such as prophets and
holy objects such as planets and stars. It may
be remembered silently, loudly, along with
music, dance, along with breathing, in group or
alone, either with counting by rosary (called
SMARANI or JAPAMALA) or without
counting. The traditions vary from region to
region and from religion to religion.
However the universal principle underlying
NAMASMARAN is to reorient your
physiological being with your true self. In
fact while reorienting with true self you aim
to establish and strengthen the bond or
connection; between; your physiological
being; with your true self. You aim at
reunification with yourself!
Since remembering your true self is the
pinnacle of or culmination of individual
consciousness, and individual consciousness
8. is the culmination of every activity in life,
remembering any name of God or Guru (any
symbol of your true self) is equivalent to
opening the final common pathway for the
individual consciousness associated with
every possible activity to get funneled into or
unified with objective or cosmic
consciousness.
Thus NAMASMARAN is in fact the
YOGA of YOGA in the sense that it is the
culmination of consciousness associated with
every possible procedure and technique in
the yoga that you are familiar with. It is the
YOGA of YOGA because it is the
culmination of consciousness associated with
all the activities in the universe, which it
encompasses as well! It is YOGA of YOGA
because everybody in the world irrespective
of his/her tradition and the beliefs; would
eventually, ultimately and naturally reach it
9. it; in the process of liberation. Even so called
non believers also would not “miss” the
“benefit of remembering the true self
through one symbol or another”!
Just as NAMASMARAN is YOGA of YOGA
it is meditation of meditation also! It is the
natural and ultimate climax of every form of
meditation.
These facts however have to be realized with
persistent practice of NAMSMARAN and
not blindly believed or blindly disbelieved
with casual approach!
In short NAMSMARAN is super-bounty of
cosmic consciousness for every individual to
realize it (cosmic consciousness)! This is truly
a super-bounty because a person who
experiences it, rises above mercenary,
commercial and even professional and
10. charity planes and manifest super-
transactions in his or her life!
These are just few observations to give rough
idea about what is NAMASMARAN.
NAMASMARAN is an ocean of bliss. Its true
meaning is beyond description in words and
has to b experienced, most preferably, by
billions!
