Dear Khalsa Ji,
Today, there are Capable Khalsas guiding the country, it is true, Panth is proud of them. Yet we know, no one can know the future. We in Khalsa Panth have to continue to strive, to bring up more and more meritorious Khalsas who can continue to provide lead to the country.
One day, I will not be in this world, but the life will continue. This is the nature's way to renew itself.
Our country is like a plant which needs to be cared for and nurtured all the time. Khalsas have to strive for better and better capabilities. Human evolution is and will always remain an ongoing process; it will never be over; we canot rest.
We have to teach our children how to be creative? how to be innovative? In this information rich, technology intensive, IT enabled knowledge based market driven competitive world, all will have the information available to them on computers through Internet; the one who uses this information in an innovative way that serves the society better alone will raise to be in the top bracket.
Changing times will pose new challanges, we have to give our next generation capabilities to effectively response to those challanges and keep on doing better and better. This we have to institutionalise in our families and in our Khalsa educational institutions. There is lot to be done.
When I was in school, it was enough to learn what was taught to us there. Today, the science is advancing so fast that what reaches the curriculum of the schools, is already obsolete by the time it gets incorporated in it. Consequently, beyond primary education, the educational institutions will loose their present meaning. Schools will not be educating the children, they will only be informating them.
We have to teach our children how to become self learner so they can cope up will the coming times. Khalsa institutions should become active in this area. Traditional approaches to education will not do.
Our families will have to learn how the Brain developes and functiones, that alone will tell the input needed to trunout capable Khalsas - the first three years of the childs life are most important. It is in the first three years of life that the bulk of brain formatting takes place which continues up to the age of 13 at a slow pace and very slowly beyond that upto 20 years.
In these first three years the child remains with the family. It is for the mothers to take up this responsibility. Each of our Khalsa family has to become a 'mint' where high integrity capable Khalsas are created.
Life will continue without us one day, always there will be more and more to be done, this process of growth has to continue; the process has to be designed to be self sustaining and self evolving. This will keep Khlasa Panth in Chadee Kala.
With love and respect for all.
