Qu’est-ce qu’un cercle d’étude?
Pour favoriser la réussite de ce système éducatif il est important que les parents et les enseignants acceptent à leur niveau de faire l’effort de bien comprendre, d’intégrer et de mettre progressivement en application la notion des Valeurs Humaines qu’ils transmettront. Il est important que ce que l’on enseigne soit basé non sur la parole mais sur l’exemple personnel.
OBJECTIF:
L’objectif du cercle d’étude est de nous permettre de bien comprendre et d’intégrer les différentes Valeurs Humaines afin que nous puissions les mettre en application dans la vie de tous les jours.
A Study Circle does not mean only just reading and discussing and taking information into the head, but also putting into practice what is learnt… Knowledge about what this author says or that sage teaches is not what your Study Circle must aim to acquire. Not information, but transformation; not instruction, but construction should be the aim. Theoretical knowledge is a burden, unless it is practiced, when it can be lightened into Wisdom, and assimilated into daily life. Knowledge that does not give harmony and wholeness to the process of living is not worth acquiring. Every activity must be rendered valid and worthwhile by its contribution to the discovery of Truth, both of the Self and of Nature.
But, what have you gained? Knowledge about what this author says or that sage teaches is not what your study circle must aim to acquire. Not information, but transformation; not instruction, but construction should be the aim.
Do not confine your studies to this circle and these books. The whole Universe is University for you. You can imbibe wisdom from the sky, the clouds, the mountains, the rivers, the daily phenomena of sunrise and sunset, the seasons, birds, trees, flowers, the insects --in fact, all beings and things in nature.
