Eternal Values for a Changing Society (Vol.V) : Education for Human Excellence

Human society is an evolving organism, constantly changing, adjusting, and readjusting itself, driven by several factors—social, political, religious, scientific, and others. The mind-boggling scientific and technological advancements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have radically changed the face of society. Revolutionary inventions and innovations, from the wheel of the ancient world to the AI of present times, have drastically impacted the lives of humans everywhere. In this backdrop, for this rapidly changing entity called society, there is the need for something eternal that can give it stability and strength, as well as bring fulfillment in the lives of individuals. The knowledge of the true nature of the self, *Atma-jnana*, and the spiritual values emerging out of this knowledge are the only unchanging and everlasting elements in this universe. Whether past, present, or future, these eternal spiritual values are indispensable for a healthy human society; without them, human society would be like a ship without an anchor, helplessly tossed up and down by the mighty currents of change. It is the eternal spiritual values alone that can hold the ship of human society firmly and give stability to it, and in the process, bring meaningfulness to the varied human activities and endeavors. The fifth volume of this nine-volume set of eternal spiritual values deals with 'Education for Human Excellence'.
