Education As Service is a book written by the Indian philosopher and spiritual teacher Jiddu Krishnamurti. The book is a collection of Krishnamurti's lectures and talks on the topic of education, which he delivered to students and teachers around the world.Krishnamurti argues that education should not be about memorizing facts and figures or preparing students for a career, but rather about helping them to develop a deep understanding of themselves and their place in the world. He believes that education should be a process of self-discovery, in which students learn to think critically, question their assumptions, and develop a sense of compassion and empathy for others.The book covers a wide range of topics related to education, including the role of the teacher, the importance of creativity and imagination, the dangers of conformity and tradition, and the need for a holistic approach to learning that takes into account the emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions of human experience.Krishnamurti's writing is clear and accessible, and his ideas are presented in a way that is both thought-provoking and inspiring. Education As Service is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophy of education, or in the broader questions of human development and self-discovery.My Master taught me that Love will enable a man to acquire all other qualities and that all the rest without it would never be sufficient. Therefore no person ought to be a teacher--ought to be allowed to be a teacher--unless he has shown in his daily life that Love is the strongest quality of his nature. It may be asked: How are we to find out whether a person possesses Love to a sufficient degree to make him worthy to be a teacher? Just as a boy shows his natural capacities at an early age for one profession or another, so a particularly strong love-nature would mark a boy out as specially fitted to be an instructor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
