Putting the Human Being in Place

Rediff has published an interview with Yoga Guru Sri. Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev of Isha Foundation. Answering a question on why we are facing the kind of problems today in the world, he hits the nail on it's head by pointing out that the human being is to be rehabilitated and reformed before anything else. I exhort one and all to go through this thought-provoking interview. The relevant excerpt mentioned is here:

<Excerpt>

In the year 2010, they say the world produced enough food for 18 billion people. But we are only 7 billion people.
Still 40 per cent of the people don't get to eat, because you and I have not cared enough.
If these 24 people change the way they think, the way they feel about the world, the way they experience the world, everything can change.
Everything -- technology, resource, capability -- is in place except the human being.
My dream and intention and vision is to put the human being in place.
