Sadhguru: How Your Mind Is Creating Your Reality
"Uneducated people or illiterate people are happier than the educated people. With education, your life should have become better, isn't it? Unfortunately, they're becoming unhappy simply because they only have sharpened their knife."
The spiritual teacher argues that modern education creates misery by over-developing intellect while neglecting other dimensions of intelligence and well-being. He compares intellect to a sharp knife that cuts people when used improperly, claiming illiterate tribal communities and uneducated children display greater natural joy than educated adults. This challenges fundamental assumptions about education's value.
