According to the traditional perspective, education is the most important means for dispelling ignorance. Here ignorance means the proclivity of human mind to follow the easiest way of seeing and accepting the world at its face value and its failure to distinguish between appearance and reality. Once a person’s perception is awakened through proper education or through intellectual intuition he/she can see the fallacy underlying the world in its formal appearance. The awakening of perception enables one to know the truth. The knowledge of the truth leads to freedom from all bondage and limitation. To know is to be delivered.
