The Nature of Order Series: Book 4, 18 June 2020
The lecture series continues with Savyasaachi on the theme “About Yourself.” He will share "some lessons I have imbibed in the course of working with forest dwellers, architects, crafts persons and students at the National Institute of Design and the department of Sociology Jamia MIllia Islamia are:
- it is necessary to work hard to not let your life be out-sourced,
-it is important to learn to spend time with one's own self and be available to others and,
-it is important to discern what is worthy of forgetting and what is worth of remembering because to forget everything and to remember everything undermines reverence for life".
