Education As Service

Education as Service is a book written by Jiddu Krishnamurti, an Indian philosopher, speaker, and writer. The book explores the concept of education and how it can be transformed into a service to humanity. Krishnamurti argues that education should not be merely focused on academic knowledge, but should also aim to develop the whole person, including their emotional, social, and spiritual aspects.Krishnamurti suggests that true education should involve the cultivation of self-awareness, compassion, and a sense of responsibility towards others. He emphasizes the importance of understanding oneself and the world around us, and the need to develop critical thinking skills and independent thought.In Education as Service, Krishnamurti also discusses the role of the teacher in education, arguing that they should not simply impart knowledge, but should also act as guides and mentors, helping students to discover their own unique talents and interests.Overall, Education as Service is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges traditional ideas about education and encourages readers to consider the true purpose and potential of education in our lives.My Master taught me that Love will enable a man to acquire all other qualities and that ""all the rest without it would never be sufficient."" Therefore no person ought to be a teacher--ought to be allowed to be a teacher--unless he has shown in his daily life that Love is the strongest quality of his nature. It may be asked: How are we to find out whether a person possesses Love to a sufficient degree to make him worthy to be a teacher? Just as a boy shows his natural capacities at an early age for one profession or another, so a particularly strong love-nature would mark a boy out as specially fitted to be an instructor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
