00:00Namaste, sir. Question is from Kirti Singh ji. She is asking that, so are we saying
00:08that to receive knowledge from Shri Krishna, one must be empty from mind, from intellect,
00:14not do any thinking and be an open receiver. But how to stop this internal chitchat of
00:19the mind? It keeps on going. No, you don't have to be empty of anything.
00:26You just have to be empty of the choice to use anything in your defence, right? You are
00:41born with ammunition. You don't have to keep the ammunition aside. Let the gun be there
00:51with you. Just don't fire at the teacher. That's all that Krishna is saying. You don't
00:57have to empty the gun. Keep it loaded. It's alright. Because your entire existence is
01:07just resource. What all will you empty yourself of? And everything can be potentially used
01:16against the teachings. Every single thing. Why only intellect? Why not memories? Why
01:24not muscle power? Why not punch the teacher in his face? So will Krishna say, you must
01:31empty yourself of your fist, of your arm? No. Keep it. Just don't use it in a destructive,
01:42foolish, malicious way. Let the intellect be there. It should simply not become fodder to the ego.
01:57You have to ask yourself. You have to watch yourself. What are you using your things for?
02:06That's self-knowledge coming from observation. What are you using your arguments for? Oh,
02:16your beautiful piece of rhetoric you came up with. What for? What is all this for? And if
02:26you can see what is all this for, you'll also see for whom is all this? And the answer is
02:36just ego. All this is just to secure the ego. Beautiful answer. Lovely argument. What an alibi.
02:49What you have not seen is that all this is just to remain who you are and you stink.
02:58Somebody is telling you to go get a bath and you came up with a fantastic argument proving that a
03:05bath is not needed. It's a beautiful argument. Maybe you won the debate. Oh, you did. But what you don't see
03:15is that you lost out on something much deeper.
03:25Getting it? It's only through your inner honesty and observation
03:35of your intention that you will know what you are using your resources for.
03:45Was not Ravana a great warrior? Is not Duryodhana practically invincible with the mace?
03:54Right? The question is not about his physical strength or his dexterity with his weapon. It's
04:07about the purpose, the end, the intention that he's carrying. Karna has the bow and the arrow.
04:18Duryodhana has the mace and their counterparts are Arjuna and Bhima. Right? Same weapon, same kind of
04:31warrior, same ammunition. The difference lies in the purpose you are using your ammunition for.
04:38What are you using yourself for?
04:43Such a wonderful display of your skill with your weapon. Wow! But what did you use it for?
04:54What is your entire argument for?
05:00Ultimately, what is it that you want? Please see.
05:02Don't just say, you know, I have an argument for. No, I have an argument for this. No, no, no. It's not for this.
05:12You must see what the entire thing is ultimately drifting towards.
05:21And ultimately, it drifts towards nothing complicated. Just one thing. I am already alright.
05:29Let me do as I wish.
05:32Don't teach me.
05:37That's the final thing. Great argument. Complex, convoluted, wide. Wow!
05:47Full of scholarship.
05:50But ultimately trying to say just one thing. What? I already know. I am the dude. I am the king.
05:58I am the scholar. Is that not the purpose of every single argument?
06:05I am already great. I am alright. I am superior.
06:11So I don't need to learn. Why do you always want to win an argument to prove that you are already
06:17superior? I am superior. I won the debate. And if I am superior, what is that superiority for?
06:24To remain as I am because if I am already superior, then I don't need to learn and change.
06:31Everything is just so that you do not change.
06:35Everything is just so that you can convince yourself that you are already alright.
06:42Intellect is so stupid.
06:46Intellect is not intelligent at all.
06:55I used all my arguments to remain stupid.
07:03Extremely intellectual arguments. This, that.
07:07Just to remain as dumb as I am. Dumb as a dodo.
07:25Don't throw the gun away. Fire it at the right targets.
07:41Suddenly Santoshi became interested. What is going on?
07:46Who is throwing gun?
07:55Anyway, the moment I said don't fire at the teacher, he said, but where is the gun?
08:11I am harmless. Perfectly.
