00:00Spirituality is not mumbo-jumbo.
00:02Spirituality is hard, unrelenting inquiry.
00:07You want to know what is going on.
00:09Spirituality is philosophy with the purpose of liberation from the ordeal of life.
00:16Spirituality is not a belief system.
00:18Come on, start believing in this.
00:19Come on, start just dancing or parroting something totally mindlessly.
00:23Figure out the meaning.
00:25And if there is no meaning, then there is no compulsion to again and again visit that place.
00:30Everything is symbolic.
00:32And the right meaning has to be asserted.
00:34You must know what is being pointed at.
00:36And if the temple is real, then it will definitely point only towards the sky, the truth, the absolute freedom.
00:45And if you cannot see that, then you must say, oh, the temple right now holds no meaning for me.
00:49Because that temple is not telling me of liberation.
00:53Not the temple's fault really.
00:54My own fault.
00:55I cannot read the meaning.
