CHENNAI: “The best minds in the country should go into education, only then we can build a nation of worth,” Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev has said. He was speaking at a gathering of students, teachers and public at the Sishya School on Thursday. Delivering the KIT Thomas Oration held in memory of the founder K I Thomas, he said: “Unless we get this 1.2 billion nation of people competent, focussed and disciplined, we are in for huge trouble. Our educational institutions are floating with reputation and not quality. Teachers should inspire more students to take up the profession. Now, other than a few inspired teachers, the rest of them do not fit anywhere to get into teaching.”He said, “These days, with information flowing everywhere, we are so sure and excited that we can communicate. We do not care what we communicate.”To anchor his point, he narrated the story of a bull, which sees a lot of grass around, goes on eating it and eventually get fattened. “Later, an old, hungry lion sees it, gets excited and eats the bull. When it’s full of bull, it makes a growl and the nearby villagers spot the lion and kill it. The moral of the story is, when you are full of bull, you should not open your mouth,” he said, sending the audience into peals of laughter.
