Sri Sathya Sai Seva Samiti - Qatar, SSSEHV Page (Balvikas)

Humanness is very sacred. There is no greater force than humanness. Man has to pursue two kinds of education: Education and Educare. Education is acquiring knowledge from textbooks written by someone else. Educare is manifesting the divinity latent in a human being. This is by self effort. It involves bringing out something that is already there, within, by one's own sadhana (spiritual exercises) and not bringing out evil qualities that are carefully and perversely preserved in one's bosom. Educare is bringing out or manifesting the human values of Sathya (Truth), Dharma (Righteousness), Santhi (Peace), Prema (Love), and Ahimsa (Nonviolence) by sadhana.

Sathya (Truth):
The first among the five human values is Sathya. Who is the author or who spoke and taught about this Sathya? It is said, Manasyekam vachasyekam karmanyekam mahatmanam (those whose thoughts, words, and deeds are in perfect harmony are noble ones). Such noble souls have preached this truth since time immemorial. Sathya (truth) manifests from one's own heart.
Dharma (Righteousness):
The second value is Dharma (righteousness). Who created this Dharma? What is Dharma and what is Adharma? If you go on enquiring, it becomes clear that Dharma is not something that is created by someone. Sathyannasthi paro Dharmah (there is no dharma greater than adherence to truth). Dharma originated from Sathya.
Santhi (Peace):
The third value is Santhi (Peace). You enquire from any millionaire, "Sir! You have everything in this world for a happy living. Are you happy?" Pat comes the reply, "I have everything, but I have no peace." Peace is not something that a person passes on or gives in charity to another person. It has to come from one's own heart. Today, wherever you look, you see "only pieces, no peace".
Prema (Love):
The fourth value is Prema (Love). Where did this Love come from? Did it come from mother or father or some friend? Did anyone gift it? No! Love is your very life- breath. Devoid of love, the world cannot exist.
Ahmisa (Non-violence):
The fifth human value is Ahimsa (Nonviolence). Gautam Buddha taught, Ahimsa paramo dharmah (nonviolence is the supreme dharma). But, today, wherever you look, there is only violence. Like the other human values, the heart is the seat of nonviolence.

The five human values Sathya, Dharma, Santhi, Prema, and Ahimsa are not independent of each other. They closely follow one another. These five qualities are the gift of God to a human being. You as human beings have to manifest these five human values by putting them into practice. That is "Educare".

The most important aspect is to develop firm and unwavering faith. When the rope of faith is strong and secure, the bucket can draw out the water of the five human values from the well of your heart. This process is called "Educare". Educare is to bring out that which is in the depth of one's heart. It is not something external. It cannot be purchased from the market, nor can it be taught by a teacher. You yourself have to strive for it. Only then can you attain self- realisation. For this, the prerequisite is self-confidence. In order to gain self -confidence, you must develop noble qualitties.

There is no greater force than humanness. Man has to pursue two kinds of education: Education and Educare. Education is acquiring knowledge from textbooks written by someone else. Educare is manifesting the divinity latent in a human being. This is by self effort. It involves bringing out something that is already there, within, by one's own sadhana (spiritual exercises) and not bringing out evil qualities that are carefully and perversely preserved in one's bosom. Educare is bringing out or manifesting the human values of Sathya (Truth), Dharma (Righteousness), Santhi (Peace), Prema (Love), and Ahimsa (Nonviolence) by sadhana. Sathya (Truth): The first among the five human values is Sathya. Who is the author or who spoke and taught about this Sathya? It is said, Manasyekam vachasyekam karmanyekam mahatmanam (those whose thoughts, words, and deeds are in perfect harmony are noble ones). Such noble souls have preached this truth since time immemorial. Sathya (truth) manifests from one's own heart. Dharma (Righteousness): The second value is Dharma (righteousness). Who created this Dharma? What is Dharma and what is Adharma? If you go on enquiring, it becomes clear that Dharma is not something that is created by someone.

Peace is not something that a person passes on or gives in charity to another person. It has to come from one's own heart. Today, wherever you look, you see "only pieces, no peace". Prema (Love): The fourth value is Prema (Love). Where did this Love come from? Did it come from mother or father or some friend? Did anyone gift it? No! Love is your very life- breath.

OBJECTIVES OF VALUE EDUCATION. To impart values to the growing personalities of the children, which will enable them to live lives to the fullest potential. At the same time, they will share with people who are less fortunate and contribute to the general welfare of the whole community. Through participation in this programme it is hoped that children will: Learn about the cultures, customs and religions of other people in order to appreciate the brotherhood of man. Appreciate the five basic human values of Truth, Right Action, Peace, Love, and Non-Violence as a essential to the development of character. Acquire necessary skills that will help them to experience the five human values and put them into daily practice. Act consistently with the stated human values in thought, word and deed. The end of wisdom is freedom. The end of culture is perfection. The end of knowledge is love. The end of education is character. Swami on Parenting: Parents do not set good examples to the children. In the modern age, the father does not correct the child, and the child does not listen to the mother. Therefore 90% of the fathers are like Dhritrashtra; they will accept anything that their children do. This is the reason why the world has come to such a sorry state. Divine Message of the day: Where there is love, there can be no trace of violence. Thus, when one is able to manifest the five human values of sathya, dharma, santhi, prema, and ahimsa, then one's intellect becomes steady and one can walk the straight path.
