This lecture frames lifelong learning through Indian philosophy as a sacred journey culminating in wisdom rather than mere information, drawing on the Katha Upanishad's call to "arise, awake" and the Bhagavad Gita's teaching on acquiring knowledge through humility, inquiry, and service. It develops this through concepts like Guru-Shishya Parampara (mentorship), Svādhyāya (self-study, from the Taittiriya Upanishad), and reflection as "the soul of learning" (Brihadaranyaka Upanishad), alongside the idea that "excellence in action is true learning" (Bhagavad Gita 2.50) and that knowledge ultimately gives humility and refines character. The conclusion argues these timeless principles remain relevant in the digital age, shaping not just what learners know but who they become.
