00:00I don't know swimming. You have thrown me into a pond. I'm going to be asphyxiated, finished.
00:05And you have just taken out a fish from the pond and you throw it back into the water.
00:11What is that for the fish?
00:12Pleasure.
00:12Pleasure.
00:13So pain and pleasure depend on my prakritic composition that the difference is just bodily, right?
00:19My lungs are not designed to extract oxygen from water.
00:23I can have oxygen only from air.
00:25But if you look at the fish, its body is designed to extract oxygen even from water.
00:32So the fish happily lives there.
00:33Difference is just physical.
00:35And the physical difference becomes the difference between pain and pleasure.
00:39That's what he's saying.
00:40Your pain and pleasure are defined by your physical and mental constitution.
00:46There is nothing absolute in them.
00:48They are relative to who you are.
