Transcript

00:00The more you are desirous, the more you are goal-oriented, the more ambitious you are,

00:05the less you will know what you are actually doing.

00:09Desire will simply obfuscate your vision.

00:11The thing is, we stick to our choices.

00:13We hold on to them like dear life, like the monkey does to her little one.

00:18And sometimes the little one is dead, and yet the mother monkey is, she's not even looking

00:23at herself to see that the baby is already gone.

00:26I invite you to look impartially at your choices.

00:36all your time, money, energy into chasing that thing.
