00:00The force of emotion is so strong that when it rises, it feels like just the right thing.

00:05That's the problem.

00:06You can resist something if first of all it appears bad.

00:09If something appears bad, then you will even begin to resist it.

00:13But when emotion arises, it does not even appear bad.

00:17It appears just the right thing to happen and you feel like supporting it.

00:20And the more you support it, the more you will remain enslaved.

00:23If you live by the code of the animal, you will live the life of a slave.

00:27The more reactive and the more emotional you are, the more easily you will be enslaved.
