00:00Have you heard of an event called the Unmanned Square in the history of China?
00:03Who killed all those protesting students?
00:05And those students, so many of them, were your age.
00:08There was a particular place, a particular square,
00:10in which they were sitting and protesting, asking for democracy.
00:13Students like you.
00:14And tanks were brought in to crush those students.
00:16And thousands were killed.
00:18Because that's what the politician wants.
00:19Power.
00:20Power over whom?
00:21You.
00:21And the army is the instrument.
00:22If there are 200 countries in the world, there will be 200 presidents.
00:26Wonderful.
00:26So let there be 400 countries, so that there may be 400 presidents.
00:30So politicians, yes, of course.
00:32For them, it's very important that the concept of the nation-state is upheld.
00:36So it is good that boundaries are being created.
00:39For whom?
00:39For that ambitious politician.
00:41And you do not realize that.
00:42You worship that politician.
00:44Man's mind is such that he cannot live without violence.
00:47And if there is no violence, what is the need of boundaries?
00:51Tell me, if there is no violence, if there is no separation in the mind,
00:55what is the need of a boundary?
