Transcript

00:00In my family, my parents, they taught me about Bhagavad Gita and all, but then I like initially I used to find it irrelevant.

00:08You know, if there is a compulsory 20 credit course on the Upanishads, you will not only read the Upanishads, but even try to secure an A, right?

00:18The moment you know it carries 20 credits, you will forget all your hesitation. That's how we are, you know.

00:24If it gives me placement and money and CGPA, I will read.

00:29Poor Bhagavad Gita, it's not there in the curricula. The placements are not linked to it.

00:33No employer asks you, have you read Sankhyog? What is the difference between Ishkaam, Karam and Vairagya?

00:40Nobody asks you these things. Why don't they ask these things?

00:43Because they themselves don't know a thing. They themselves are in deep delusion, so they do not know what to really look for in a candidate.

00:50And they also know that if there is a candidate who actually knows the answers to the right questions,

00:54then that candidate will never appear for their interview, let alone join their company.
