“Education, Empowerment and Enlightenment”
The Indian philosophy envisages four major objectives – Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha, to find fulfillment in worldly life, which are collectively referred to as “Purusartha”, meaning “goals of human life”. The significance of our existence is justified once these goals are providently understood and attained.
The first and the foremost objective is “Dharma” which has a much wider significance than its literal meaning i.e., religion. It is a Sanskrit word that has been derived from its root ‘Dhri’; which means “to uphold and to adopt”. It contains a comprehensive range of values and ethics that can only be attained by education that forms the nucleus of sustainability in this rapidly changing world. Education indicates the process of inviting truth and possibility by the procurement of knowledge, skills, beliefs and habits.
“Artha” or the acquisition of wealth is the second most important pursuit of human life. Wealth doesn’t always necessarily denote material possession but also involve knowledge – both material and spiritual and good health – at physical, emotional and mental levels. In other words, wealth refers to tangible or intangible assets that make a person, family or group better off. Creation of wealth is the result of efficacious application of moral values and ethos contained in Dharma. “Kama” refers to actions or deeds of an individual that embodies self development, procreation and benevolence towards humanity. Both these aspects contribute to the paramount development of a society and can solely be accomplished by Empowerment through Education – a process that enhances the capacity of a person to make choices and to transform those into desired outcomes for self and societal benefits.
“Moksha” is the ultimate objective sequelled by attaining enlightenment that indicates the state of non attachment and desirelessness. The philosophy of “Enlightenment” advocates the fact that education and empowerment acts as a means of emancipating sufferings, error and ignorance. Education, Empowerment and Enlightenment are thus the transitional agents and dictating principles that regulate the four stages of life.
