Synopsis: Sadhguru, I have one more question on research. In research, we are taught to emphasize five senses and logic.

Synopsis: Sadhguru, we would like to ask this question further. Though it is a dangerous question to be asked on this campus. So when I entered this university, as a student I used to think why should anyone enter politics? Just to make my career and leave the university. So I had this careerist orientation in life.

Synopsis: My question is about this idea of a cosmic or global identity. I think it’s no secret that many of us here, no matter where we came from before this, we now have a certain level of privilege studying in a place like Columbia.

Synopsis: I’m sure many of my friends will relate to this question. We find no purpose in what we’re studying. And we feel we’re studying just for the sake of marks.

We want to go outside, explore the world, learn, and do a lot of things outside the classroom. But...

But still I would say, pick up 100 people from the street, just like...

Transcript: I think it's pathetic. A human being has to construct their life. Human beings have to construct their lives, all the time thinking about how to earn a living. An earthworm, a grasshopper, a bird on the tree, all of them earn their living, isn't it? With such a big brain, you're supposed to do something little different than just earn a living. Earning a living should be the most basic thing. With...

But why are you concerned whether somebody is behind you? Why is...

Transcript: So, this is one thing you must address. Education is not just about learning. All this learning business will be useless and meaningless in the next five to ten years.

That's what is going to happen in the next five to ten years. Because, we have been misunderstanding...
