Introduction

Rabindra Nath Tegore believed that the aim of education is self-realization. He was a poet and a saint, who had, through his imagination and insight, realized the universal soul in himself and in nature. He believed that this realization was the goal of education. Because the universal soul in the root of our own soul, man’s aim in life is to reach that universal soul of which all human beings are parts. The evolution of nature is consciously or unconsciously driving us towards this universal soul, a process which can be assisted by education. Even if it is not assisted the progress towards the universal soul will continue, but then individuals will be deprived of self-realization. It is, thus, evident that Rabindra Nath’s educational philosophy is an adjunct of his general philosophy of life. In fact, he did not find any dichotomy between thought, life and philosophy.
