An Old Man's Thoughts on Many Things, Of Education I
Context: I have said nothing about religious teaching as one of the means of forming a good character.... I, who am not a teacher of religion, do not presume to say how it should be taught, so taught as to be practical. If you merely teach dogmas dogmatically, you are not teaching in the sense in which I understand teaching... and learning... does not consist merely in knowing: it is not learning unless there is some corresponding doing.
On Guru-Shishya Parampara (tradition of Teacher and Student) and Modern world.
