In this AI run world, every robot is and will be trained to know the senses and elements around. The only difference is robot doesn't have ego and we humans have ego!!
When we give our ego a right place, by involving it in the right action, we can create a robot as well, otherwise we become robots in someone's hands.
Imagine, if we are taught how to make friends with our juniors to create some product. Imagine we are taught to take failure and rejection whether in education phase or in attraction phase. Imagine if a teenager enjoys getting into the real time work with the help of his seniors. Imagine if the student bunks the class not to go for a movie but to attend a workshop or seminar as per their interest or to attend any of his or her family work. What if the student is working on understanding the passion and interest and planning how to work on the dreams.
Imagining itself is difficult. Exactly, mind doesn't want to take up so much of creative and productive role. Mind doesn't encourage body as well to take up any kind of physical stress.
Laziness and ego takes over our most active phase of life. And we call, this "enjoy your life". There is only one life. Well, why not, enjoy your life at your own cost and repair the damage at your own cost.
Krishna says,
भूमिरापोऽनलो वायुः खं मनो बुद्धिरेव च। अहङ्कार इतीयं मे भिन्ना प्रकृतिरष्टधा।।7.4।।
bhūmirāpō.nalō vāyuḥ khaṅ manō buddhirēva ca. ahaṅkāra itīyaṅ mē bhinnā prakṛtiraṣṭadhā৷৷7.4৷৷
Meaning - (Bhumi, aapah, analo vaayu, kham) Earth, water, fire, air, ether , (manah, budhi, ahankara) , mind, intelligence and ego are the eight elements of nature.
Living in the moment is the key as many of us know and learn over the years.
But the real meaning is to understand these 8 elements. How each one is reacting to each other. The permutations and combinations that can happen. Getting into the desirous world is not wrong but balance of all these is the key for us. And such self-analysis can easily make you stay beyond AI-driven world.
