00:00I seriously dislike it when people offer respects. Bow down, touch feet, surrender, even without understanding.

00:07There is this thing called Shachshitnaman, which in my vocabulary is an insult.

00:11They don't understand what I'm saying. Why is he so averse to respect?

00:16Because I want you to learn love rather than respect.

00:18Usually, respect is used just as a substitute and a very poor one for love.

00:23When there is no love, then you want to have respect. Please respect me.

00:27The real person does not want somebody else to respect him.

00:31I would be very happy if you could connect with me, you could relate with me.

00:35There was a certain understanding that would be so joyful.

00:37Instead of that, if you say, you know, salutations, obeisance, and that happens in India.

00:42We roll at your feet, sir. What kind of perversity is that?

00:45The real spiritual thing is not respect, but love.
