There are eight ways to become proficient in education. These eight things were guided by the ancient professors as a way of learning. If you do not teach all the eight of these methods, will end up with an ALAGADDŪPAMĀ (Example, snake catching). Very important, you do not catch a snake without protection. It is important that all that you know is to good for your life and the environment. If the knowledge you have is harming yourself and the environment, then you have not taught it in the eight ways.
