00:00 In India, if you do not get a movie with songs,

00:03 you say, "I am disinterested," the movie would bomb.

00:05 In Hollywood, if you have a movie with songs,

00:08 that would raise eyebrows.

00:09 What's going on?

00:10 That's the nature of interest.

00:11 It is never something of the heart.

00:13 Love and interest are not the same thing.

00:16 Interest is something that is given to you

00:18 by your body, by your environment,

00:20 by random chance, by circumstances.

00:23 That's what the entire advertising industry is about.

00:26 They can make you feel interested in stuff

00:28 that is intrinsically worthless to you.

00:30 So of what value is this thing called interest?

00:34 We place so much premium upon this word interest.

00:37 Do what interests you, this, that.

00:41 that interest is the last thing that you should ever go after.

00:45 Figure out what you can love.

00:46 And you will never be able to transcend into love

00:50 if you remain stuck with interests.
