FIVE DIMENSIONS
OF EDUCATION
 FIRST DIMENSION
The first is informative, like history, geography, and
many other subjects which can be dealt with by
television and computer together.

History should consist only of those great geniuses who

have contributed something to the beauty of this
planet, to humanity.

We should teach the positive grandeur of our

inheritance.
 FIRST DIMENSION
We have to make the future generations completely
aware that a dark side existed in the past and
dominated the past, but now there is no place for that
side

Every person in the world should know at least two

languages; one is his mother tongue, and the other is
English as an international vehicle for communication.
 SECOND DIMENSION
The second is the inquiry of scientific subjects, which is
tremendously important because it is half of reality,
the outside reality.
 THIRD DIMENSION
Art of Living - Every child should be helped to
transform his anger, hatred, jealousy, into love.

Sense of Humour.

Connect with the nature like sunrise, sunset, enjoying

the birds sing

third dimension.
 FOURTH DIMENSION

craftsmanship, pottery and masonry.

By being creative one becomes divine; creativity is the

only prayer.

One-third of our education should be concerned with
livelihood;

one-third of our education should be concerned with our

well-being body, health, ways to stay younger and live
longer.

And one-third the last and the most important

should be concerned with love, with death, and the
secrets of life itself. Only then will we have a wholesome
education.
