This body and mind are always changing. We are studying hundreds of courses in the university to suit the needs of the body and mind, and yet we are completely neglecting the needs of the self. So if we are talking of management, you can't manage something unless you know what to manage. And in regards to managing the self, we don't even know who we are!
This is the most fundamental principle of education. Do you know what the word "education" means? The word education comes from the Greek word "educary", which means to bring out what is within. Does that have anything to do with modern education? Modern education is to superimpose from the outside into your brains so much data, so many statistics, facts and figures. But the real meaning of the word "education" is to withdraw what is within you.
Real knowledge is within your own heart, but we are so externalized in our approach to life that we are completely neglecting the real needs of ourselves.
