00:09 what does that do to the quality of your consciousness?

00:12 Does that make you more intelligent?

00:14 Does that turn you sharper?

00:16 Or does that dull you down?

00:19 Someone who is just bored with life,

00:20 someone who does not understand anything,

00:22 someone who does not even want to understand.

00:24 That's what you call as a dull one.
