Excerpted from a talk by Sadhguru to the board members of the Dharma Civilization Foundation (DCF) in Chatsworth, California, on 4th Oct 2015. (DCF aims to establish academic infrastructure for the study of Dharma by establishing an endowed chair at US universities.)
You are trying to take the Sanatana Dharma into the platform of a university. This actually means you are trying to put an ultimate process on a limited academic platform. A time has come when it has to be done – there is no question. But it is important to take a few fundamental precautions to see it does not become another theological process but a stimulant for people to seek.
The Sanatana Dharma is not about telling you something that you have to believe or else you are dead. This is not that kind of culture. I tell you something that will raise more questions in you than you ever imagined possible. The entire process of the Sanatana Dharma is to raise questions in you, not to give you readymade answers – to raise questions, to deepen the questioning in such a way that you will naturally find the source of all this. To bring that dimension of seeking, it is very important that the necessary precautions are taken to see that it does not become another theological study.
