Who will take up the role of educating the population and the children?

Q: Who will take up the role of educating the population and the children? How can UNESCO find the way to bring spirituality as a real component and not as a luxurious thought to our agenda?

Guruji: Any big transformation in society depends on the four pillars of society:

The government

The civil societies; the NGOs

The media

The faith-based organizations, they also have a role to play

When all these four avenues or pillars of society work in unison, only then any project can be successful; whether it is this child education or whatever. Any project in a society needs cooperation from these four corners.

UNESCO can play a very important role in influencing all these four aspects of the society. The faith-based organization can influence the government; it can produce a system and tell all the governments to make multicultural, multi-faith education a part of the curriculum for children.

I would say, even if every country in the West put one percentage of their defence budget in peace education, this world would be a better place to live.

Q: What is the relation of Sadhana and our life?

Guruji: The whole life is Sadhana. Doing Pooja, little rituals and Kriya are important but one should also celebrate whole life as sadhana.

Q: How can we know if our devotion has fully matured or not?

Guruji: Don’t worry about if your devotion is matured or not. Know that devotion is there. Never think that you don’t have devotion or you lack devotion.

======================

Even if a small part of the world thinks that only they have the key to heaven and everybody else is going to hell, they are bound to create hell for everyone else.
