Inclusion of spirituality in education



Spirituality is a set of beliefs and attitudes of people and spirituality education leads to important effects on people’s psychological health.
It is imperative that we educate students to explore deeper and higher dimensions of human resources so they can successfully work for the fulfilment of their ideal dreams.
Our teachings need turn to the dimensions of values, will power and cultural, ethical and spiritual potentialities.
Education through using religious doctrine included the patience, trust, mercifulness, adoration, proper thanks giving to God, theology, self- reflection and presence of God in life.
The focus of education has been more on material improvements and pecuniary benefits, rather than on holistic growth of mind, body and spirit.
For an inclusive education philosophy, the following could be useful pointers:
1. Education should teach a student about the real nature of the individual and Nature.
2. Demonstrate that all life is a play of consciousness with itself.
3. Relate the evolution of living success to the movement of conscious life towards increasing higher levels of awareness.
4. Declare the purpose of each life to be the realisation of divine potential.
5.Teach students the art of dynamic equilibrium so that they never tend to extremes, but tread the middle path.
6. Educate to train our mind so that we always live in the present.
7. Teach students to exert their utmost to achieve their objectives as if everything depended on their effort, yet simultaneously also realise that all events are divinely ordained.
8. Make students take life as it comes, accept whatever comes as a gift from the Divine and remain in a state of equilibrium under all circumstances.
9. Help students to be steadfast in their views, but not claim exclusive truth for their doctrines; to be ready to accept alternative versions of the truth.
10. Integrate with modern doctrines of science, gender, parity, liberty, equality and fraternity and human rights.
When spirituality will be completely embraced by our education system, our students will not only make a living in this physical world, but also make living a success and experience every moment of life as new, every day as a day of uplift, blessing  and enjoy lasting peace.
Stay strong with educational spirituality to rock your platform!
