00:02A story on love cannot begin with somebody else.

00:07It has to begin with yourself.

00:08What you are talking of must begin with yourself.

00:11What is it that you really require from life?

00:16That's what you should be seeking.

00:17And therefore, the object of your love should be the object of your deepest respect.

00:22That's what reverence is.

00:24That's what devotion or worship is.

00:36That's left to the literature side, no?

00:38That should be introduced in class four.
