00:00The author of Ramayana, Valmiki. In the early days of his career, he was an accomplished robber.

00:06Loot people, chase them, chop off their heads and all these things.

00:09One day, it just arises in him to check a few facts.

00:13So he goes to his wife and he says, some quick fact checks please.

00:18Now the wife is alerted. I love you so much darling, what would you like to have?

00:21Should I bring you some freshly cooked deer, the one you have just brought hunted?

00:26No, no, no. A few quick questions.

00:27When I'll get the punishment for all my crimes, my sins, would you bear along with me?

00:33It's just a pleasant day darling, let's go out and roam about.

00:36He says, no, nothing doing. You answer my question.

00:39When I'll go to hell, will you come along?

00:41And the wife tries to evade the question in 42 ways.

00:44And the 42nd time, he roars right into the wife's face.

00:48Will you come with me?

00:50The wife is now trembling and she has no way to avoid a direct answer.

00:54And she says, no, no, no.

00:56And the door opens.

00:57The door just opens.

00:59And what is outside the door?

01:00Create blankness with no certainty, no comfort.

01:03And once Walmiki has seen what is outside, he cannot return.

01:07Check facts.

01:08Have deep discussions.

01:09Then ask for direct answers.

01:11Test, test and test.

01:13And before you test others, ensure that you are testing yourself as well.

01:16So let's see.

01:27The door.

01:31So let's hear.
