Education without religion is not education at all. Same with religion.

Religion without education is pointless

Intimacy or Intimate generally refers to the feeling of being in a close personal association and belonging together. It is a familiar and very close affective connection with another as a result of a bond that is formed through knowledge and experience of the other.

As the climbing ivy over lefty elm Creeps tortuously, together the adornment Of the verdant plain, embellishing Each other and together growing, But should the kindly elm refuse its aid The ivy would impotent and friendless wither So is Education to Religion By spiritual alliance bound Through Religion, Education gains reknown, and Woe to the impious mind that blindly spurning The sapient teachings of religion, this Unpolluted fountain-head forsakes.

Rizal shared his thought about the importance of education to enlighten the nation which was useful to gain societal freedom for every nation. It may also provide us the necessary knowledge, skills and attitude to expand. Rizal thought that there was really an intimate alliance between religion and good education. A man who was properly educated needed to apply what he learned on spiritual view rather than simply on material achievements. The result of good education always fulfilled a growing uprightness and valuable virtue within the bounce of spiritual and moral dimensions.

As the sprout, growing from the pompous vine, Proudly offers us its honeyed clusters While the generous and loving garment Feeds its roots; so the freshning waters Of celestial virtue give new life To Education true, shedding On it warmth and light; because of them The vine smells sweet and gives delicious fruit

Rizal showed also be growing dignified fulfillment and application to the teachings of religion ,just like a vine which continually grow that would someday the fruit will become sweet and delicious.

Without Religion, Human Education Is like unto a vessel struck by winds Which, sore beset, is of its helm deprived By the roaring blows and buffets of the dread Tempestuous Boreas, who fiercely wields His power until he proudly send her down Into the deep abysses of then angered sea.

Without religion, human education may result to chaos and disorder in any civilized nation because people may no longer value freedom, respect, dignity and other good virtues that maintain societal order. It may result to a natural disaster just as the angered sea, which characterized the fierce winds that may, wrecked the vessel in the deep abysses.

As the heavens dew the meadow feeds and strengthen So that blooming flowers all the earth Embroider in the days of spring; so also If Religion holy nourishes Education with its doctrine, she Shall walk in joy and generosity Toward the good, and everywhere bestrew The fragrant and luxuriant fruits of virtue

Rizal knew that religion had a profound effect to education, the educated must internalized the virtue of incorruptible life based on the ethical and moral standard of the society.
