Transcript

00:00When you want to believe in miracles, then you want to give up on your own responsibility, don't you?

00:05You want to say, something special happens and then the fellow benefits from that.

00:09The thing is nothing special is going to happen.

00:10Life is there and life is ordinary for each one of us.

00:14And it's from this life that one has to come to the truth.

00:17And the heavens are not going to drop anything special for you or me.

00:21That's not going to happen.

00:22Even the avatars we have had, the buddhas we have had,

00:26it's just convenient for us to believe and propagate that they were special people.

00:30We all arise from this earth.

00:33Bodily, we are not very different from each other at all.

00:36We have to make the right choices and that can probably distinguish one person from the other.

00:43And that's all. And those choices are a continuous affair.

00:46You have to make them on a day-to-day basis.

00:48So one cannot even in the case of choices say that one particular fellow made one particularly distinguished choice

00:55and that changed his life. No.
