Role of Spirituality in a Student’s Life

“Youth is not the time and age for you to seek certainty. You must equip yourself to handle uncertainty. For this, you need a spiritual process.”

—Sadhguru

A spiritual process means that you have become a seeker. A religious person means he has become a believer. Unfortunately, academics and scientists are also becoming believers today. But a student and a spiritual seeker are a perfect match because in some way any agile life is a natural spiritual seeker. They may not necessarily identify themselves that way, but they want to know what everything is about. This means you are a spiritual seeker. But have you organized your seeking so that it will come to a result, or are you just one more guy who will ask this and that question when you are young, but by the time you are thirty you forget everything and just live your life grubbing around? Grubbing for food, grubbing for money, grubbing for something - that is how most people are living.

If you keep the questions alive, you are naturally a spiritual seeker. How can you leave an unanswered question just lying there? Any question about your life must be answered. Your mind and your intellect will not be capable of keeping this alive. After some time, it will become devious, you know. From how you were at the age of ten to how you are right now, you have become a little more devious. Unfortunately, by the time you are thirty, you will become much more devious. You will even start saying, “God created the entire universe,” though you do not know a damn thing.
