In this talk, via a study of the poem “The Turkey and the Ant”, Sudhakar highlights two powerful tendencies of the mind: its insatiable nature and its tendency to look outward and criticise others instead of examining oneself. He explains that no external achievement or possession can give lasting happiness, because the mind will always ask, “What next?” The second lesson reminds us to pause before criticising, introspect and use our energy to improve ourselves rather than trying to fix others.
