Modern education in ordinary schools is merely concerned with giving information, giving a certain amount of knowledge and helping the students to get a career.

What is our relationship here at this school? Is there any deeper relationship?

Are we concerned not merely with the now - the now being good relationship, helping students to understand the whole significance of life - and also concerned with their future?

Psychologically we are on the same level.

How shall we help each other to be free of mediocrity?

How are we to help each other to uncondition ourselves? How shall we begin to free ourselves from the results which society and ourselves have imposed?
