00:00Somebody comes begging to you, help me, help me please, help me, give me some cocaine, please help me, and he is desperate, he is crying, he is begging.
00:08The only help he seeks from you is the powder that he wants.
00:12But here, this case highlights clearly how help can be very disastrous, which means that help etc., all the so-called good qualities, are not ends in themselves.
00:23Any good quality is good only to the extent it elevates consciousness. Beyond that, that good quality is of no use. Beyond that, that good quality is in fact bad.
00:34Now, giving poison to someone is a bad thing, right? What else do you give as anti-venom to a person suffering from snake bite?
00:43The fact is that poison in this case is life-saving. So, even poison is not something necessarily to be avoided.
00:53Help is not necessarily good, poison is not necessarily bad.
