The following blog -article is based upon the writings/ essays/ comments by The Mother ,who started the Sri Aurobindo Ashram School, way back in the 1930s:-
The Education of a child begins right from the conception of the birth, by her/his parents, and especially by the child's mother, who nurtures, nourishes, cares ,protects against all odds of Nature. ! And ,when the mother holds the highest spiritual aspirations, to bring about the best possible circumstances for the birth of her child , to create around herself the best environment of beauty ( aesthetics) and a balanced ( ZEN?) harmony, so that the child may inherit the best possible qualities, virtues and divine blessings !!! We can infer this from the human-birth of the divine incarnations of Indian Avatars Ram and Krishn and even Ganesh !!!
Sri Aurobindo also commented in his essays on Education: about such divine purpose of souls who are born with a divine plan or intention in this world:-
Every child is an Artist, a dreamer who perceives beyond human images, forms and shapes ! And we should be able to provide such tools, kits, materials for his/her imagination to create beauty and harmony out of the stuff of earth & Nature , so that the light of aesthetic delight can manifest without obscuring the human-vision!!!
Every child is a Scientist, with an insatiable quest or faculty of inquiry in the world of physical matter...to know the why or how of things in relation to human functionality....All we need to do is to provide such instruments of learning, to develop the faculties of observation, enquiry, hypothesis, experimentation, analysis, exploration of possibilities to apply the theories in practical goals of human life with a diviner insight !!!
Every child is a ( born) Metaphysical thinker who can be led to believe in the existence of God, a Supreme Reality beyond the mortal birth and death in this Earth...All we need to provide is the Faith and the normal conditions ...that lead to spirit of supra-rational-enquiry , a balanced or deep sense of righteous, moral, ethical references and foundation, that connects our SElf, relations of life towards a gradual & deeper understanding or acceptance of :- our own higher or divine Self / Soul and the world around in which we exist, and can live with faith or belief in higher divine goals or aims !!!
The real or true Art of Living must include the love of Divine Truth, Knowledge, Beauty, and Scientific temper, in a Unified , harmonious living with Nature or the Earth ...as many "Guru-guides, personal-mentors, God-preachers, Saints have set by their own examples to their 'disciples/ shishya/ followers...converting even the so-called bad-sinners, dacoits, and murderers...thus healing with the compassionate religious or the spiritual teachings ... according to the inner calling of aspirants, across the barriers of cultural differences, customs, & traditions of family or social communities.
The Mother inspires with her simple message that :- "To Love to learn is the most precious gift that one can give to a child...to love to learn in all circumstances of life; in every situation, or moment, and always 'open' with receptivity to'divine' insights or aspirations of our soul !!!"
