Faith is the foundation for any forward step
When ridiculing, reprimanding or punishing pupils, teachers must try to picture themselves in their position and discover how they would have reacted to the same, when they were pupils. Self- inquiry of this kind will be very useful. The word teaches a great lesson. '' means near, '' means down and '' means sit; the pupil sits down, at the feet of the and also near him. '' (That) is the ; '' (You) is the pupil. The "" poses the question and the "" gifts the answer. The bond is love from "", humility from the "". And '' (i s) connotes the at the knowledge, the illumination, that is shared. The educational process adopted at might appear to be novel but it is really superior and highly beneficial. It has not been devised for awarding degrees only; it is aimed' at equipping the student for an integrated life. The student must be aware of all aspects of the adventure of life. One must be aware of the do's and dont's, the ups and downs of all fields of activity - moral, material, scientific, philosophical, political and economic. Or else, one will be haunted by doubts when faced with difficult situations and problems. Therefore, teachers as well as students must develop faith in the validity and worth of this process. A Thelugu proverb exhorts man thus: "Believe and Live". Faith is the very foundation for any forward step. If the step has to await the dawn of faith through experience, one cannot progress at all.
