English :

        The Pot of Wisdom 

     

     One day, Emperor Akbar was in a contemplative mood and decided to test the intelligence of his courtiers. He called his ministers and gave them a task: "Take this pot and fill it with wisdom."The courtiers were puzzled. They discussed among themselves but couldn't come up with a solution. Finally, they approached Birbal and asked for his help.

      Birbal took the pot and filled it with water. He then placed a large stone inside the pot, followed by several smaller stones, pebbles, and sand, each time ensuring that there was no more room for anything else. Finally, he topped the pot with a feather floating on the water's surface.Birbal brought the pot to Akbar. The emperor was intrigued and asked for an explanation.

    Birbal said, "Your Majesty  the pot represents our mind. The large stone symbolizes the fundamental principles and values we must hold dear. The smaller stones represent significant knowledge and skills. The pebbles are minor details and facts, and the sand signifies trivial information. The water is our capacity to understand and integrate all these elements, while the feather represents the lightness of wisdom that guides us through life's complexities.



"Akbar was impressed and nodded appreciatively. "Indeed, Birbal, you have shown that wisdom encompasses understanding the importance and place of different types of knowledge in our lives. We must prioritize and balance our principles, knowledge, and details while maintaining a light and open mind.


       Moral : 

     True wisdom lies in understanding the importance of various elements in our lives and balancing them wisely, recognizing that every piece of knowledge has its place and significance.

Hello, Creative Visionaries !     Let me grab your attention towards a new and effective learning technique of the contemporary Educational Era. Let me start this article with a quotation related to Lev Vygotsky’s theory of learning.   “What a child can do in cooperation today, he can do alone   tomorrow.”      NEP-2020 prioritized learner-centered education to attain quality of education. It is highly possible with “Authentic Learning”. There is a great need to repair and recover the Post pandemic educational scenarios. So in this context, Digital tools are helpful to bridge the learning slots. Hence, Let’s have a glance at my perspectives on               “AUTHENTIC LEARNING WITH DIGITAL TOOLS.”                            CONCEPT:     AUTHENTIC LEARNING is an instructional approach which enables the learners to co...
