Acharya Prashant addresses a student named Sajeev, explaining that the feeling of suffocation within the current education system is a sign of being alive and conscious. He argues that the modern educational framework is built on flawed foundations such as ambition, competition, fear, and greed, which inherently make the mind sick. This system constantly pushes individuals away from the present moment toward a future-oriented career, fostering violence through competition and suppressing spontaneous inspiration. He highlights that the curriculum teaches everything about the external world but fails to teach the individual about themselves, leading to a profound lack of self-knowledge and joy.
