00:00There was this master. One day as he sat to lecture, he kept a pile of gold biscuits by his side.

00:09Probably on the table itself here. And it was his custom to begin only when he

00:14sensed that the audience was at peace, stable, meditative, ready to receive. That day he sat

00:22for an hour and didn't speak a word because his rule was to begin speaking only when the audience

00:28was well settled. And then after an hour, he said, this was the lecture. We are atoms. Today
