Friends, every child when born, I believe, is a peace loving child. And it is we who probably spoil his nature, it is we who take him to the wrong direction from a space loving human being to a human being who starts believing in conflicts believing in hatred and so on and so forth. I remember the famous sculpture of Michelangelo, he created a beautiful statue and a friend office said ‘Out of a piece of stone you have created this beautiful statue’. The sculptor said, “this statue was already within the stone, I have not created it. All I have done is, I have chiseled off the undesirable pieces which were around the statue and which were masking the statue”. I think friends, in the same way, a child who is borne by the kindness of God is a peace loving child. In the name of education, we have started believing in stuffing him with more and more information, rather than chiseling him off to make sure he remains a peace loving person. If we give that holistic shift to the educational paradigm, we believe we’ll be able to do much better. And that is the aim of Skylark Private Trust.
