00:00My question is related to maturity. Is maturity just a function of physical age?

00:06Maturity is not necessarily a function of age. Maturity is when you can transcend your body,

00:12and by body I mean the bodily compulsions. So when you can transcend the urges of the body,

00:23the instincts, the thoughts, the feelings, then you deserve to be called mature.

00:29As long as you are body driven, and thought driven, and emotion driven,

00:34and you don't have discretion, you cannot see what is going on, you cannot be called mature.

00:39To some extent it can be a function of age, but not necessarily. You can have 80 years old,

00:46living and dying very immaturely, quite possible. And we have had several instances where people of

00:54small age, relatively young people, they displayed great maturity.
