Namaste, I am Sunil Rao:
Attention: is important and most of the times we are so indifferent to it. We are not taught about attention as need, as fundamental as food; and we go blundering about, seeking ways to assuage the craving, instead of learning how to provide ourselves with what we need, sensibly and calmly. We feed the hunger blindly, telling ourselves we are seeking God or Love or Service; and we are not taught to recognize the drive in others, and how we are used and manipulated by them. Once the mechanism is brought to our attention and we begin to study it, it is as if a veil has been stripped off ordinary life, and we become freer in our action and choices. (Excerpt from Introduction to Learning How to Learn by Idries Shah)
It will be my endeavor via these podcasts to draw attention towards books, articles and other such written and oral materials which point in this direction, so that we are freer in our actions and choices, that we take and make. We will try and get to speak to some individuals who have been working in this direction.
