The Thinker said, Know how to feel deeply, or people will think that you have a pig s hide. Supermundane II , para. 326 Urusvati knows the importance of education. It is the nourishment of everything lofty and refined. People can understand that a careful upbringing provides many opportunities for a proper education, but education alone will not complete one s upbringing.
Every child comes into earthly life with an already formed character.
It is possible to ennoble and elevate this essential character, but its basic nature cannot be changed. Educators must recognize this truth. They first must discern the unchangeable essence of a child, and educate accordingly. We would not be distorting the truth if We said that the human essence is formed in the Subtle World. All family and earthly influences are but external and supplementary, since the seed of one s nature has already been acquired during the subtle sojourn.
