This document discusses human mind and sentiment, current educational practices, and factors that create inequality in society. It proposes an approach called Neo-Humanism that promotes universal love over narrow geo-sentiments and socio-sentiments. Neo-Humanism was founded by P.R. Sarkar and aims to develop rational thinking, knowledge applied for universal welfare, and spiritual practice to understand one's inner self. The objectives of Neo-Humanism education are holistic child development, teaching universal love and values, and creating an integrated curriculum with an emphasis on ecological and social consciousness.

Holistic education is a philosophy of education based on the promise that each person finds identity, meaning, and purpose in life through connections to the community, to the natural world, and to humanitarian values such as compassion and peace. Holistic education aims to call forth from people an intrinsic reverence for life and a passionate love of learning.
Holistic Education is a multi-levelled experiential journey of discovery, expression and mastery where all students and teachers learn and grow together.
It is a quest for understanding and meaning. Its aim is to nurture healthy, whole, curious persons who can learn whatever they need to know in any new context. By introducing students to a holistic view of the planet, life on Earth, and the emerging world community, holistic strategies enable students to perceive and
understand the various contexts that shape and give meaning to life.
Holistic education recognizes the innate potential of EVERY student for intelligent, creative, systemic
thinking.
Holistic Curriculum is inquiry driven, interdisciplinary and integrated, and is based on explicit assumptions of disconnectedness, wholeness and multi-dimensional being.
It recognizes that all knowledge is created within a cultural context and that the "facts" are seldom more
than shared points of view. It encourages the transfer of learning across academic disciplines. An holistic
curriculum encourages learners to critically approach the cultural, moral and political contexts of their
lives.
Holistic Learning is organised around relationships within and between learners and their environment while empowering learners to live fully in the present and to co-create preferred futures.
Over the years, as we grow up, we often wonder about the purpose or reason of our existence. Is life simply a matter
of obtaining food and shelter? In fact, animals are mostly occupied in activities related to survival. But surely human
existence must have a greater purpose. This has been the basic concern in the Indo-Eastern perspective on human nature.
The Indian approaches tell us that many of the problems that we face in life are due to faulty ways of thinking and
understanding the world. Therefore, the concern in the Indian perspective is on removal of faulty knowledge which keeps us
in a state of ignorance (avidya). Once we have realized this, it is possible to live life with a new kind of freedom. In this state
we come to experience a deep and complete joy. This happiness or state of bliss is present in each of us. We only have to
unfold and experience it. Such a state enlarges the human consciousness in such a manner that a person’s goal becomes
recovering the experience of beingness or existence that is common to everybody.

A sentiment is the emotional tendency to identify with things we like -- whatever gives us pleasure. We transform when we can expand our sentiment or allegiance from one of self-interest to one of empathy and identification with an ever-larger share of humanity.
It is common to feel allegiance to one’s family and a close circle of friends. In addition, in many parts of the world, membership in a clan, a tribe or a community, is very important. Most people also consider themselves to be members or citizens of a particular region or nation, often believing that their country is somehow more important than any other. Sarkar calls this patriotism or nationalism geo-sentiment. Believing one’s own nation to be superior to others is expressed negatively in the slogan “My country, right or wrong!” and in the prejudice displayed in anti-foreigner feelings. This sentiment provided an emotional reinforcement for colonialism and imperialism.
Identifying more with one’s race, religion, class or sex, to the exclusion of other communities, is known as socio-sentiment. Both geo-sentiment and socio-sentiment have led to countless tragic conflicts and wars rooted in hatred that are, in the words of Sarkar, “the black spot of human character.” Politicians who exploit these sentiments to gain popularity may become very powerful, but they can lead their entire community or nation to destruction.
Enlightened education which develops the rational, questioning mind can be an antidote to these limiting sentiments. When education expands our identity to include all humanity, so that we feel pain at the suffering of any group of people on the planet, it can inspire us to commit ourselves to social justice, service and ecology.
Humanism, accepting all human beings in your circle of allegiance, is superior. Yet a potential defect of humanism can be that the purpose of life is often not clear. This can leave the humanist in a spiritual vacuum, without transcendent values or direction – adrift on a sea of conflicting ideas. When based on internationalism, as in the case of the United Nations, its adherents may be plagued with political differences and jealousies, just as that organization is. The philosophy of humanism may also lead one to neglect other species, to consider them inferior and exploit them for profit
Sarkar’s Neohumanism urges us to overcome this limitation by including all of life in our definition of what is real and important. Although human beings are clearly the most evolved species on this planet, our actions and conduct should demonstrate ever-increasing love and respect toward all beings and inanimate objects in the universe.
