Man's main drive is towards transcendence

You may think that, with having to learn new languages, keep up to date in multiple areas of research, teaching classes, attending talks, etc., you don't have time for hobbies or rest (or your family, if you have one!). The pressure in graduate school is immense. But in my opinion, it's important to find time to do things which are not related to your work. Read some fiction. Take some hikes. Play with your dog or cat. Meet people outside of academia. Your mental health (and your work) will benefit from it.

First of all, shouldn't Central University, Puducherry, should be renamed Sri Aurobindo Central University? Is there an intellectual, scholar, savant, yogi, or spiritual master to match his stature? Then, we should name another university thereabouts after Subramania Bharati. https://t.co/iY0am3K1nT
