• 0:06
  teaching utilized by Socrates known today as the Socratic
• 0:11
  method Socrates understood. That education was not the
• 0:16
  process of stuffing knowledge into an individual, but rather
• 0:22
  as the root of the word education, implies a drawing out
• 0:27
  of the knowledge already held Within he propounded, a series

  within the being and which expresses itself when the

  conditions for it are ripe. We also see that the seed
• 1:02
  contains the knowledge that grows into the being encoded in
• 1:06
  that seed. And in some cases, this encoding
• 1:10
  is extremely detailed. Such as the formation and
• 1:14
  activities of the human being, and all the complex chemical
• 1:19
  electrical nervous and organ system operations that make up

  aurobindo observes, quote, nothing can be taught to the

  mind, which is not already concealed as potential knowledge

  So, also, all Perfection of which the outer man is capable,

  is only a realizing of the Eternal Perfection of the spirit
