00:00I'll forever remain thankful to my schools, to IIT, to IIM and to all the authors whose
00:06books I read, I'll forever be indebted to them.
00:10But the fact remains that education of the self is far more important than all the other
00:16kinds of knowledge that we are given and that's something we do not have.
00:21The result is that the person is chasing goals all her life without even knowing whether
00:29the goal is worthy enough.
00:32We never look at ourselves and ask who am I and therefore what do I need?
00:36That question is never never raised in our classrooms.
00:40Who are you?
00:41Self, that word is entirely missing from our curricula.
00:44Self, you are taught mathematics and management and engineering, science, languages, polity,
00:50sociology, literature, but who is it that receives all the knowledge?
00:55The self and the self is never taught.
00:57How wise is that?
00:58Please tell me.
