You are giving them a lot of knowledge by which their analytical skills are increasing. However, the students have to manage themselves as people and you are not teaching them how to look after their own mind and body. You are not teaching them how to influence people properly. You are not teaching them how to control their ego. How will they succeed? The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) at Lucknow is now allowing me to teach the students meditation, pranayam (breath control) and matters in spirituality. I tell them to teach everything that they are teaching; there's nothing wrong with it. But you must also teach them how to manage themselves; otherwise how can they manage the organisation? Right now this is what I have to teach them when they come to me. They are good raw material, but they are not the finished product. Today we are bombarded by a rampant consumerism that takes people away from their original self. I think we owe it to society to help people get back to where they originally belong, to their original consciousness." ---Ashoke Maitra, Director (Corporate) Human Resources, Bennett, Coleman & Co., Ltd (Times of India Group), Mumbai, India © Global Dharma Center 2004 www.globaldharma.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
