Meaning of Peace.

Meaning of Peace................Our Peace
Human life is like a sea wave. It fluctuates from minute to minute. It has its own rise and fall & power and limitation, we live in the World that is based on the principle of fittest the best. Every creature wanted to express and improve his or her skill and desire. This phenomenon creates stress, tension and a state of hollowness. We wanted to achieve the maximum in this materialistic world so that we able to enjoy and have a sigh of peace, however, our journey continues but peace remains elusive to us. In the end, we may end where is nothing only complete darkness is there, we need a balance in our internal and external world, we have to give value and focus to our internal world, which is base of our external self and persona. In today’s scenario balancing life and way of living in peace. This is the balance between resources and desires materialism and spiritualism, humanity and development. Through peace education, we wanted to aspire our student to bring certain values in their attitude, which bring balance in their life. The concept of peace remain by and large has remained an elusive concept which has many interpretations ranging from simple as the absence of war or conflict (These conflicts are external & internal both) as the ability to cope with it starts from our within. In general, peace has also been associated with peace of mind or inner peace throughout the ages.

Education for peace

Education for Peace                                           Pawan Kumar

Education is not merely acquiring the skill of reading, writing and doing some arithmetic work. It is the manifestation of our inner to outer. Here inner means our vital (emotion), mental, physical. That makes our personality, brings elements of uniqueness, individuality in a creature and enlightened us. According to our Educationists, education is the process of developing, purifying and the unification of this inner. But the question which  I am raising here that, is our present system and its functioning serving meaningfully. Are our teachers know the process of psychic development, the inner peace, the value and self-development required for this noble cause and the answer is that our present education system is not qualitative enough. It is lacking behind both in attitude and aptitude for doing the noble work of inner development and it is not showing required aspiration. It is true that in the last 70 year we improve a lot in every aspect. Today we have a greater number of Scientists, Doctors, and Engineers etc than ever before. Our literacy rate is going up, we have more graduate but today our quality is not improving. Our young graduates are not even able to fight the struggle of their own life. Their self-esteem and self-confidence inner self is lost somewhere. This fact shows we are lacking behind in the development of wisdom for self and identity. What we are teaching is only knowledge aspect and knowledge is the only information of facts. It is our wisdom, which is, enlightened us to use the information (knowledge) in the development of our inner self, style of life, well feelingness of our own and our fellow being. It teaches us and brings discipline in life.

But our present education system is not giving adequate importance to psychic part of education. It is not even the center of attention. This resulted that we have lost enjoyment of learning. The learning process and school environment both have become a burden for a child. That snatches his childhood, they start feeling tension and anxiety on the inner self. When our coming generation not feeling enjoyment even in learning how can they enjoy their work. How can we bring work culture and dignity for work?  Situations become more critical for a little kid. When he faced an interview even for taking admission in first class. Our college generation is facing stiff challenges and competition in this GPL age. But they do not know their inner, their own self; they are wandering like a Kite without the sting. They don’t know where to go, which way to walk. What is their aim in life? They are not able to decide what they have to choose for their lively hood. Today’s generation aim of life is only concentrated with lively hood. Only earning money, doing some work for the lively hood is not being called the real aim of life. If today’s education is not able to answer or bring the quality in a student that he can confidently decide what he has to do. How can they able to search true aim of life, how they can grow their conscious, how they can bring goodness on this earth. If our generation is undecided on basic matter and confused. Is this way we are going to develop.

Emotional Aspect

 After that, I am talking about emotional manifestation. Is today’s education system caring emotion our vital? Are we teaching them emotion management, how to control and enhance our emotional energy?  the answer to these questions is no. Some factual knowledge may be given under the umbrella of moral education. But we are failed to develop adequate wisdom in our children because here our technique and its deliverance both are wrong. The failure of the emotional aspect of education, clearly visible in our students’ day-to-day activities and in life. They are not able to manage themselves this resulted in exam stress and anxiety. Every year hundreds of students attempt suicide. If our generation can not able to face and challenge. How they can able to face the struggle of life. The result is before as our youth is wasting their time and energy in cheap fun. Their relationship is not good even in the family. Parents seeking counsellor help. The challenges of drug addiction Aids, the growing graph of criminal activities before us if we wanted to change our society we have to think about emotion education also.

The Physical Aspect Of Education

The physical aspect of the education system Although it true that we have a full subject on physical education some sports activities also going on in school curriculum. But we are not able to teach the essence of true health. Heath of our students is weaker than ever before we need practical work e.g. yoga, meditation, and also a scientific way of making nutritious food.

Solution

Till now I discussed only the dark side. The darkness before dawn but where is dawn. How can we bring change, a positive change? The first point I can make here that we do not need new basic or structure or angelic work for improvement. We have to just re-determine our priorities and starts looking at the inner development of human. We need peace and psychic base of our education. Today the biggest aim of the country and the individual is to live peacefully and man of awareness. The answer to all these educational problems laying in this quest. We have to just arouse this quest make this aspiration of the inner heart then create a peaceful environment in school. Here peaceful environment means that kind of environment infrastructure, which aspire peace value in our students some formal setting also required. Psychic development of individual also required because psychic education first helps us to observe self, then self-control lead self-improvement. When our inner self is improved our outer self also improve our emotional, mental, physical automatically starts improving. It is like a burning flame in a corner of the room then the whole surrounding starts brightening.

For this peace and psychic education, we need a peaceful and psychic improved teacher because the teacher has a significant role in moulding the attitude of children during the school stage orienting them to peace and their inner psychic self. To develop skill and attitude among teacher and their self-improvement. We need real and practical training of in-service teacher and structural changes in the course of teaching education 

Need of Guidance & Counselling Services In India

👀NEED OF GUIDANCE AND COUNSELLING 

                     Present education system endeavour for the all-round and holistic development of future generation. Human development is a process which starts from the conception of the child, continue until the end of life. According to a lifespan perspective, it is a lifelong multidimensional, multidirectional, plastic, historical embedded contextual, multidisciplinary process (Paul Baltes 1987). Development of the individual (child) is threatened by many factors including socioeconomic, biological, environmental influence and occurrence of non-normative life events (an unusual occurrence) such as the death of the parents when a child is young, major accidents, severe illness. Nonnormative development also includes positive occurrences such as winning a lottery or unique career opportunity etc.

             School a very crucial institution in child life, subsequent to home play very decisive role in the development of the child where child experience the miniature of the world, learn the basic skills such as reading writing, communication, problem-solving, logical reasoning, scientific viewpoint and so on. In school child interaction with teachers, peer group all have to affect all aspect of child personality.  

 The complexity of modern life had given birth to new challenges that generate hazard in the holistic development of the child. The result is the student of different age groups are facing many adjustmental, developmental, mental-health problem due to stress, anxiety caused by the enigma of new age demands. Students are not alien to these problems we can categorize these problems in the following way:
