1. A Presentation by Prof. Anil Sarwal

2. Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you
cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
Khalil Gibran

5. THREE TYPES OF EDUCATION
MATERIAL
progress and development of the body,
through gaining its sustenance, its
material comfort and ease
HUMAN
signifies civilization and progress—that
is to say, government, administration,
charitable works, trades, arts and
handicrafts, sciences, great inventions
and discoveries and elaborate
institutions, which are the activities
essential to man as distinguished from
the animal.
DIVINE
that of the Kingdom of God: it consists
in acquiring divine perfections, and this
is true education; for in this state man
becomes the focus of divine blessings,
the manifestation of the words, “Let Us
make man in Our image, and after Our
likeness.”
