00:00Sir, does a superpower exist?

00:03Yeah, exists and sleeps within you.

00:06You are the only superpower.

00:07The moment you ask does a superpower exist, do you see the horrible assumption contained?

00:11You say, does a superpower exist outside of me?

00:13What you are saying, no, safely I am out.

00:16I don't want to take the responsibility of being a superpower.

00:19So let the superpower be somewhere out there.

00:21You are the superpower.

00:22You have to first of all just get rid of all that is powerless and needless about you.

00:27We have gathered a lot of things that make us powerless, like the concepts you are talking

00:31about.

00:32Those concepts make you powerless.

00:34Once you get rid of those concepts, you are the superpower.

00:37That superpower in the Sanatan philosophy is called as the self, Atma.

00:43That's the Shruti that all Puranic literature, all Smriti is supposed to submit itself.

00:50The only superpower is the self, Atma, me.

00:53There is no other superpower.
