00:00Maturity is when you can override your body.

00:04Maturity is when you can transcend your body and by body I mean the bodily compulsions

00:11that includes your thoughts, your feelings, everything because they are all bodily.

00:16You very well know how chemicals in the body translate into thoughts and feelings.

00:22We call them as thoughts, we call them as feelings, they are just chemicals within,

00:26right?

00:27So, when you can transcend the urges of the body, the instincts, the thoughts, the feelings
