Transcript

00:00If you don't want the mind to go bonkers playing with itself,

00:04then give it a task.

00:06And don't let the mind ever run out of tasks.

00:10The mind is just energy.

00:12You do not give it a purpose solemn enough,

00:16the energy will become destructive.

00:18Just keep the mind constructively involved with something proper and purposeful.

00:24And that will require honesty.

00:26We are lazy people, right?

00:28If the mind is to be given a proper purpose, the mind will work.

00:32But the limbs too will have to work.

00:34The mind cannot just work on its own without hands and eyes and nose and legs working.

00:40And we don't want that to happen.

00:42So we slouch on the couch, doing nothing.

00:44And only the mind is working.

00:46Give the mind a proper purpose.

00:48Let the entire body, your entire system, everything in your existence,

00:54be focused, be channelized towards the right purpose in life.
