Education is the business of living; it must continue throughout a lifetime so that mankind may gradually experience the ascending levels of mortal wisdom, which are:
- 1. The knowledge of things.
- 2. The realization of meanings.
- 3. The appreciation of values.
- 4. The nobility of work--duty.
- 5. The motivation of goals--morality.
- 6. The love of service--character.
- 7. Cosmic insight--spiritual discernment.
And then, by means of these achievements, many will ascend to the mortal ultimate of mind attainment, God-consciousness.[2]
