00:00When you say that you go to a workplace for a purpose, the purpose is never work, or is

00:05it?

00:06The purpose is the salary check.

00:09In fact, if work could be bypassed, and you could straight away reach the salary check,

00:13then who would want to work?

00:15Now, why work in such a place then?

00:18Why subject yourself to month-long torture so that you may get a check in the month end?

00:24Today is the 5th, but the mind is, when would the 30th arrive?

00:29Working without purpose means really working.

00:31Now, I'm not bothered about what would happen tomorrow.

00:34Nothing outside of the action is now determining the action.

00:37The action is its own purpose, and that is called purposelessness.

00:41Work itself is so beautiful and meaningful that I don't have to look forward to the 30th.

00:47Now nobody can threaten you.

00:48They may say, we will not pay you.

00:50You say, oh, oh, oh, do I receive a salary?

00:52I forgot that.

00:53I thought working was sufficient.
