What, Srila Prabhupada says, is the missing technology in the world for students?
Srila Prabhupada speaks about this:
“So the Isopanisad says that those who are captivated by the external movements of the material energy are worshiping nescience. In the modern civilization there are big, big institutions for understanding technology, how a motorcar or an airplane moves.
They are studying how to manufacture so much machinery. But there is no educational institution for investigating how the spirit soul is moving. The actual mover is not being studied. Instead they are studying the external movements of matter.
When I lectured at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I asked the students, "Where is the technology to study the soul, the mover of the body?"
They had no such technology. They could not answer satisfactorily because their education was simply jada-vidya.
The Isopanisad says that those who engage in the advancement of such materialistic education will go to the darkest region of existence.
Therefore the present civilization is in a very dangerous position because there is no arrangement anywhere in the world for genuine spiritual education. In this way human society is being pushed to the darkest region of existence.”
