Pariksha Pe Charcha: Sadhguru Boosts Students' Confidence, Says 'Intelligence is NOT About Usefulness...'

As students across India gear up for their CBSE Class 10 and 12 board exams, spiritual leader and Isha Foundation founder Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev shared valuable insights during Pariksha Pe Charcha to help ease exam stress. Interacting with students, Sadhguru emphasized that intelligence is not about comparison or mere usefulness but about unlocking one’s potential and experiencing life profoundly.

Sadhguru’s Inspiring Words for Students Amid CBSE Board Exams

"Don't ever think, am I as intelligent as this person or that person? There is no such thing... Everybody can sparkle and do things that others cannot imagine. The only thing is, because there is no striving, that sparkle doesn't happen," he said. Encouraging students to cultivate active and dynamic intelligence, he added, "The more you activate your intelligence, the more access you have to everything that you see."

Boosting Student Confidence During Exams

With board exams already underway, maintaining confidence is crucial for students to perform their best. Here are a few ways to stay calm and focused during exams:

Believe in Your Preparation: Trust your efforts and avoid last-minute panic. Revise systematically and avoid cramming.

Stay Mindful and Present: Anxiety often arises from worrying about results. Practice deep breathing and mindfulness techniques to stay calm.

Healthy Routine: Ensure a balanced diet, proper sleep, and short breaks to refresh your mind.

Positive Affirmations: Start your day with self-motivation. Remind yourself: I am prepared. I will do my best.

Avoid Peer Pressure: Everyone has a unique learning style. Focus on your strengths rather than comparing yourself with others.

As students navigate through the crucial exam period, Sadhguru’s wisdom serves as a reminder that intelligence is about unlocking potential rather than simply achieving results. With the right mindset and preparation, every student can excel and shine in their own way.
