Sadhguru @ Columbia University
Excerpt
So, on the note of purpose. One thing that I think, I am constantly chasing is, and I don't know when I have reached it, is the pursuit of happiness. I think, everyone in this room at some point, maybe now you are asking yourself [...] pursuit of happiness and why it can be elusive? For me, happiness stems, like I think of my family. Because they’re such a critical piece to my love and happiness. But oftentimes I feel like I lose sight of it. When I’m in this room, when I’m at Columbia Business School, when I’m at work. Because I’m trying to get to that next level. Ultimately to help my family. But, how do we keep track of what’s most important? And that purpose for me being my family, and the pursuit of happiness.
