 Travelling As A Part of Education

The instinct of roaming about, is rooted in man’s nature. Travelling has, therefore, been popule

With him from time immemorial. It is the romance of seeing the unseen, knowing the unknown and

Unveilling the shrouds of mystery.

But it is no entirely driven by a blind urge that man has been travelling year after year. He has also

Lound it useful-immensely benefical. One of its leading benefits is that it serves as a great teacher

It educates all-the ignorant and the erudite alike, even those who may have the pride to think that

They have nothing more to learn.

The knowledge we acquire in the colleges and universities is mainly bookish in nature. It may ad

To our learning without enhancing our real sagacity. The bulk of theoretical studies that have no

Practical application in our day-to-day life may as well be regarded as a sterile piece of earth

Unproductive and useless. The essential link between scholastic knowledge and the actual affairs

Of life can be provided by the realistic understanding of the world derived through travelling.

Travelling across distant countries expands the mental horizon of man. Fanaticism, prejudices.

Intolerance and such other vices are cured and complexes removed when a man comes into contact

With people from different places. Books only conveys theoretical informations on these things. It is

Travelling that effects real exchange between nation and nation, to the benefit of the whole world.

In these days of international tension, travelling can help to bring about cordiality and harmony

Between hostile nations. When we travel through countries, we come to know that people in general

All over the world want peace and amity. That strengthens our own hope of peace and removes the

Fear of a third. World War. Liekwise, travelling can bring different countries closer and closer and

Establish better economic co-operation among them for their mututal benefit.

A long stay at one place brings monotony and stagnation to our life. Change and variety is the spice

Of life. This is no mere platitude but most palpably true. A change of atmosphere from the plains to

The hills, from moist to dry climate, brings about such a perceptible improvement in the state of our

Mental and physical health that doctors prescribe change of place when other remedies fail to

Restore health and spirits ot ailing persons. When our eyes feast on the gorgeous beauties of Nature,

The rolling waves of the blue oceans, the proud pinnacles of mountains, the mysterious wilderness

Of the flambuoyant flower-decked valleys, our hearts swell with ecstasy. Our minds shed all the

Narrowness and unwholesome tendencies at the sight of Nature’s magnificence. Our soul breaks its

Bondage and soars high in quest of the real values of life.

A man never knows his own native land completely till he has gone out of it to some other country.

Only a rational comparison with other countries can specify vividly the true character, the merits

And drawbacks of our own motherland. An awareness of our defects inspires us to work hard and

Improve the unhappy condition of our country. We, the people of the East, have learnt from

Travelling in the Western countries how they enjoy their liberties and discharge the

Responsibilities. This has been a greater teacher than hundreds of sermons on civic rights and

Duties.
