Ishan Shivanand argues that as self-driving cars and AI reshape the world, inner technologies like yoga and meditation matter more than ever. While outer innovations reach the Moon, inner practices move us from anxiety to peace and bliss.
The world is a very different place right now. You go outside and you see cars driving without anybody sitting in them. You see robots making coffee. You see artificial intelligence. And in a world that is constantly changing, how does a person stay grounded? How can a person find peace? How can a person have an anchor? Just like there are outer technologies, in the same way, man in his ancient civilization worked upon inner technologies as well. Outer technologies can help a person reach from the Earth to the Moon, and inner technologies, technologies like yoga, like sadhana, like meditation, can help a person reach from a point of anxiety to a point of peace and divine bliss, maybe even enlightenment.
