The Incontrovertible Indian Philosophy

The Indian philosophy is divided into seven systems, which lay stress to answer the most basic philosophical inquiries. The scholars within theses systems regard them as many millennia older. These important questions are : 1.  Who am I ? From where have I come and why have I come ? What is my relationship with the manifold universe and other human beings ? 2.  What is the essential nature of my being, and what is the essential nature of the manifested world, and its cause ? 3.  What is the relationship of the center of consciousness and the objects of the world ? 4.  What is the nature of the forms and names of the objects of the world, and how do they serve the essential nature of man or universal consciousness ? 5.  What are the guidelines for action as long as we live in the natural body ?

We are living in the 21st century, but my parents seem to have not developed their mindset even now.
