00:00We tend to explain it away as bad luck, misfortune or perhaps God's plan.
00:05So, is it the whole truth or is life simply beyond our control?
00:09Why do you expect the universe to be a fair and just place according to our concepts of fairness?
00:17That's not philosophy. That's a lot of fiction.
00:21This whole thing is very, very random.
00:24But we want to assign causality to it.
00:27We want to say things happen for such and such reason.
00:30Why are we allowing randomness to assume meaning?
00:36But there can be meaning in the one who you are.
00:40Please understand.
00:41How do we accept that?
00:43How do we come to terms with it?
00:44What prevents you from accepting that?
00:46I lost my brother. He got into an accident.
00:49There was no reason why it happened.
00:51But still, the question comes, why did it happen in my life?
00:54Allow the suffering one to suffer fully.
00:58Let the suffering one come to terms with it.
01:00You remain untouched.
01:06Pranam Acharya.
01:07My name is Rhea.
01:09I am a final year MBA student.
01:10My question to you, Acharya, is in a world full of learning and unlearning, the only constant which a person tries to is to hold that kindness and fairness which we expect from the life.
01:21So, why is that in life, even when people give their best through effort, sincerity and hard work, things don't always turn into their favor.
01:31Very often, it is the kind or genuine ones who face the unfairness.
01:35And when that happens, we tend to explain it away as bad luck, misfortune or perhaps God's plan.
01:42So, what is that really?
01:45Is it the whole truth or is life simply beyond our control?
01:48See, this entire concept that a benevolent, benign, merciful entity has created the universe and therefore the universe must be a fair place.
02:15Why do you expect the universe to be a fair and just place?
02:31That's not philosophy.
02:36That's a lot of fiction.
02:39That's a lot of fiction.
02:42Right?
02:43Why should the universe be a fair place according to our concepts of fairness?
02:51If you look at the way the universe really is and prakrati is, by prakrati I mean everything that is perceivable, everything that is material.
03:02It's all a random place, but that's often scary for us to confront and accept.
03:11This whole thing is very, very random, but we want to assign causality to it.
03:20We want to say things happen for such and such reason, for example, even as we sit here right now, if this thing falls on our head, probably somebody would like to explain that away by saying, you know, these four girls, they were sinners in their past lives.
03:40And this one is a huge sinner in the current life itself.
03:45So all these five deserve to die.
03:48They are just reaping the fruits of their past karma.
03:56Nothing like that, sir.
03:58This is a random event.
04:01Why are we allowing randomness to assume meaning?
04:04There is no meaning in this.
04:05But that terrifies us that this is a life without meaning.
04:12Life in the sense of external, material life.
04:15Yes, there is no meaning in all this.
04:18This is absurd.
04:19Absolutely absurd.
04:22Absolutely absurd.
04:24But there can be meaning in the one who you are.
04:30Please understand.
04:31Who am I?
04:32I am the one who is born in ignorance.
04:35I am the one who is later on trained in ways that deepen his ignorance.
04:43And therefore I suffer.
04:45I suffer in ways visible and invisible.
04:49Subtle and gross.
04:51Therefore, my life can have meaning.
04:55Life has no meaning, by the way.
04:57My life can have meaning.
04:59And what's the only meaning my life can probably have?
05:03It is to get rid of my inner bondages.
05:07To be inwardly sovereign.
05:10Externally, things will never be in your control.
05:14Who are you?
05:16Think of the universe.
05:17Who are we?
05:19What can we control?
05:20And even when we realise that we are a tiny speck in this entire...
05:27Then we want to say, no, we can't control anything, but we have a father up there in heavens.
05:33And my father is very nice to me, so he'll control things.
05:36Nobody is going to control it for you.
05:43But yes, there is one point that can be your own fiefdom.
05:50One point that can be inwardly untouchable.
05:54Oriental philosophy has called that as the self.
06:01Self.
06:02The true self.
06:03The pure self.
06:06That point can remain untouched of whatever is happening.
06:09You can remain untouched of all external happenings.
06:14As body and mind, you can participate in all that.
06:17You can play with all that.
06:18Knowing fully well that it is all random.
06:20You don't know how you were born.
06:22You don't know how you will die.
06:24Things are beyond your control.
06:28Even if there is causality.
06:30There are just so many intertwined threads of causality.
06:34The machine is just so huge that it is very, very difficult to come to one particular exact cause of any event.
06:46Even if events do have causes,
06:48those causes are just so intermeshed and so numerous that you can't put your finger on any one particular cause.
06:56Everything is caused by everything else.
06:58As they say, one butterfly slapping its wings in Japan can cause an earthquake or a volcanic eruption in America.
07:09So we do.
07:11And that's not the only thing that's causing it.
07:14Right?
07:14Probably the entire history of the entire universe is coming together to cause that eruption.
07:20So you cannot say that this is happening because of this.
07:23So I can control this.
07:25You can't control anything.
07:26But you can control who you are.
07:29And what's the method for that?
07:30Self-inquiry.
07:32If you look into your own self, if you look into the mirror, you will see your bondages.
07:37And all bondages arise from not understanding what this entire game is like.
07:45You could also say bondages arise from superimposing meaning on what is innately meaningless.
07:53Something happens and we want to accord meaning to it.
07:56No, there is no meaning there.
07:59A man or a woman enters your life.
08:00You want to say, oh, love has come to me.
08:04There is no meaning to that.
08:05No, love has come to you.
08:06You very well know how it happens.
08:08How hormones and chemicals and all the neurochemistry is doing what it has to do.
08:13What is happening to you at the age of 22 couldn't have happened at the age of 12.
08:18You very well know what it is.
08:19It is meaningless.
08:21No, no, participate in it if you want to.
08:22That's fine.
08:24Play, roll, valo.
08:26Celebrate, cheer.
08:28But don't give it a meaning.
08:29Otherwise, you will suffer.
08:31Otherwise, you will suffer.
08:33Let things be.
08:34You remain untouched.
08:36And being untouched does not mean that you have to be an ascetic, that you have to be a renunciate.
08:41No, I am not talking of that.
08:43The body will participate in the universe because the body is the universe.
08:48What else is the body?
08:50Stardust.
08:51What else is the body?
08:52This soil is the body.
08:53So how can the body not participate in the universe?
08:55What else is the mind?
08:58Mind is subtle body.
09:00Can there be mind without the body?
09:02Is there something called disembodied mind?
09:05You take something into your body.
09:08Doesn't your mental condition immediately change?
09:12Somebody smashes your skull with a hammer.
09:15That's the body.
09:16And with the body gone, does the mind still remain?
09:18The mind too is the body.
09:22Which means the mind too will participate in the universe.
09:26So with the body, with the mind, participate in the universe because the mind and the body are nothing but the universe.
09:33However, you remain a witness of all this.
09:36Let this entire game of engagement play itself out.
09:43You don't have to be involved at the deeper most level.
09:50Deepest, you must be untouched.
09:52That doesn't mean that the body must be untouched.
10:00I'm not talking about being the tyagi of the common kind.
10:07I don't touch food.
10:08I don't do this.
10:09Some say I don't touch women.
10:10Some say, no, no, I walk barefoot.
10:12I'm not talking of all that.
10:13It's very silly.
10:14Even if you want to avoid the world, how will you avoid it?
10:19Can you avoid breathing?
10:21Can you avoid food?
10:22All that is the universe.
10:23How will you avoid that?
10:27So, sir, basically what you've said is life is as chaotic like entropy.
10:31It's always on the rise.
10:32Chaos is just present, ever present all around us.
10:35How do we accept that?
10:37How do we come to terms with it?
10:39What prevents you from accepting that?
10:41I suffered a very deep personal loss earlier this year.
10:44I lost my brother and I've accepted that that's a random, it was a random act.
10:49He got into an accident.
10:50There was no reason why it happened.
10:53But still, the question comes, why did it have to happen in my life?
10:57How do I come to terms with that kind of chaos?
10:59No, allow the suffering one to suffer fully.
11:04Allow the suffering one to suffer fully.
11:07The question is, how do I come to terms with it?
11:11Let the suffering one come to terms with it.
11:16You remain untouched.
11:18You don't need to block or suppress your suffering.
11:22Let the eyes weep.
11:24Let the mind grieve.
11:25There is no escaping that and there is no shame in that.
11:33We'll have to laugh and weep.
11:36That's the way life is.
11:38We'll have to meet and leave.
11:41That's the way life is.
11:42When you are sad, weep buckets.
11:50Allow yourself to beat your chest and shout from the rooftop.
11:55That's fine.
11:55And when you are happy, dance and celebrate.
11:58That's alright.
11:59Wonderful.
12:00But you, you, one point within you must remain untouched.
12:07You must be able to see what is happening.
12:10And if you are able to see what is happening, weeping is wonderful.
12:15Not weeping is also wonderful.
12:17Playing is wonderful.
12:18Not playing is also wonderful.
12:22Wisdom does not mean deadness.
12:26Wisdom means participation without fear.
12:30If I am free to celebrate the birth of a person,
12:39why should I block myself from grieving the demise of that person?
12:47I will weep because I am sad.
12:51Yet the real me is never happy, never sad.
12:57The only function, the only nature of that thing within is to know.
13:05Like a witness.
13:08Knowing without participating.
13:11And that means that the ones who are participating are absolutely free to participate.
13:17They have no obligation to not to engage.
13:21Please engage.
13:23It would be inhuman.
13:24If you have a friend or a relative or a family member who has fallen sick and you say,
13:32it does not affect me at all, it must affect you.
13:36It would be inhuman if species of animals are getting extinct every day and you say,
13:42it does not affect me.
13:43It must affect you.
13:45If you say, this deforestation does not affect you.
13:48If you say, climate injustice or income inequality does not affect you.
13:52It must affect you.
13:54You must be very deeply touched by all of this.
13:59If you see somebody in pain, that must induce pain in you as well.
14:05That's the mark of humanness, yes.
14:07But at the same time, there must be, as I said, a point within that nothing can reach.
14:18Nothing can ever touch, let alone violate.
14:20I know I might not be making too much sense, but that's fine.
14:27No, actually it does make a, it makes more sense than a lot of advice I've gotten on the topic.
14:32I'm glad.
14:35If I may invite one more panelist onto stage.
14:39Krishna, can you please join us?
14:50You have been talking about that one center in the self, which is unchanging.
15:01So basically I'm a reader of philosophy.
15:05So my question is, the self is something which is unchanging, which is there forever.
15:12Even if the external body dies, the self which is there will go on continuing.
15:17The awareness, whichever it is there.
15:20But then I don't see it.
15:22Logically, if I talk about the mind, it is a pattern recognizer.
15:27So there's a separation between me and you in terms of experience.
15:33So what does my mind see?
15:35What does it experience?
15:36It says ki, okay, Krishna, your experience is totally different from Acharya Ji.
15:41So what it says ki, I am Krishna.
15:43This is me.
15:44I am an ESI student.
15:45I'm a fourth year student.
15:46So there is separateness.
15:48There is ego, which has been developed, which occurred naturally.
15:52Then why would I counter against that ego, which has developed naturally?
15:58Isn't it unnatural to dissolve the ego, which has occurred naturally?
16:04Lovely question.
16:06The ego, you very rightly said, has developed naturally.
16:11What you mean is that there is the soil.
16:13And the soil, in the natural course of things, becomes the body.
16:22Right?
16:23The soil becomes the body.
16:25And in that sense, the ego is natural.
16:29But does the ego consider itself natural?
16:33That's the entire problem.
16:36The ego does not consider itself natural.
16:39It thinks of itself as the consumer of nature, not nature itself.
16:48Do I say, I am the soil?
16:50No.
16:51I'll say, I am the one walking on the soil.
16:54I am the tiller of the soil.
16:57I am harvester of the crop.
17:00I am the eater of the fruit.
17:02I'll never say, I am the soil.
17:04I'll say, I have a relationship with the soil.
17:07And what kind of relationship it is?
17:08It is an exploitative relationship.
17:11And that's the problem.
17:13The moment the ego comes to see that it is nothing but the soil,
17:19all kinds of fancies evaporate.
17:23Doership is gone.
17:26The ego is doership.
17:28Right?
17:29And to do something, you must be separate from the field of doing.
17:35You see, if I say, I am doing something, then I am acting on an object.
17:44Action requires an actor, the subject.
17:48And the subject has to act on an object.
17:52For any action, there has to be a separation between the actor and the object being acted on.
18:00And that separation is false.
18:03Because the object is nature and the subject also is nature.
18:08So, there is no doership.
18:10There is no doership.
18:11There is no doership.
18:15You see,
18:18How do I put it?
18:23Seen the whole train of bogies following the engine?
18:28Now, one particular bogie thinks it's the doer.
18:34Why?
18:35Because it's pulling the ones behind it.
18:37Isn't that false?
18:40Isn't that false?
18:41The ego does not realize that it is just one of the bogies.
18:46It thinks of itself as the engine.
18:49It thinks I am the doer.
18:51But you are not the doer.
18:52However, it's all happening in a very complex cause-effect network in the universe.
19:00You are nobody.
19:02So, the moment you see you are nobody,
19:06it's all over.
19:07All over for you.
19:09All over in terms of your suffering.
19:12Why?
19:12Because the whole suffering is,
19:14I am the doer and I want to do things.
19:16And those things are not happening, so I am unhappy.
19:18The moment you realize there is anyway nothing that you can do beyond realizing that you are not the doer.
19:29You are free.
19:30And then in that freedom,
19:33great things happen on their own.
19:36Because now you are liberated from the petty but impossible task of doing things for yourself.
19:44It's a petty task, but also very impossible.
19:46How difficult it is, for example,
19:52I will give you a petty task.
19:55How difficult it is to protect a sand castle from falling?
19:59It's just a small sand castle.
20:02But you are told,
20:03protect it from falling for just one year.
20:07How difficult would it be?
20:09Very, very difficult.
20:10Because it is inherently vulnerable and fragile.
20:14That's what the ego is.
20:15It's a falseness.
20:16And the entire life we spend trying to protect the ego.
20:22We are trying to do the impossible.
20:25We are trying to defend the indefensible.
20:28Like that sand castle,
20:30which cannot be defended.
20:32It has to fall.
20:33But the human being spends 80 years of her life just trying to protect the sand castle.
20:40Now, in a fraction of that energy,
20:43in a fraction of that energy,
20:44you can actually build
20:46a real huge castle
20:50of marble and all kinds of stones and granite and everything.
20:55It might take just two years
20:57and far lesser energy.
21:00Think of it.
21:02Think of the energy it might have taken to build this entire infrastructure here.
21:07The institute buildings.
21:11It took a particular energy,
21:13particular kind of time.
21:15Now, think of the kind of energy it will take to protect the sand castle.
21:20Protecting the sand castle will require greater energy.
21:24That's the ego.
21:25It cannot be protected,
21:27but we are trying to protect it.
21:28So, all the energy is going wasted.
21:30Once you see it cannot be protected,
21:33then that energy flows in great directions
21:35and wonderful things get done.
21:37Because now you are liberated from the obligation
21:40to protect the sand castle.
21:43Now, you don't have to do the impossible.
21:45So, you can do all the great things that are possible.
21:49So, sir, what would be the difference between ego and pride?
21:54Where do we draw the line?
21:56Pride is a very minor thing
22:01when it comes to ego.
22:05Pride is about
22:06patting yourself in the back,
22:13feeling inflated
22:14for something.
22:18The ego is a much wider term.
22:22The ego is your very sense of the self.
22:24Ego is not pride.
22:26So, that's how we colloquially use it.
22:29If someone acts in a puffed up way,
22:33then we say,
22:35oh, he is very egoistic.
22:36No.
22:36If someone tries to act very humble,
22:39even that is ego.
22:41Someone says,
22:42you know, I have so much money.
22:44We say,
22:44the fellow is being egoistic.
22:46But if someone says,
22:47I am nothing but a mere meek beggar,
22:50even that is ego.
22:54Even a simple statement,
22:56like, I am a woman,
22:58or I am a doctor,
22:59or I am a questioner,
23:00even that is ego.
23:01Any statement of identity is ego.
23:05Ego, the word itself means,
23:07I, identity.
23:08I am X.
23:13This is ego.
23:14And X could be anything.
23:16I am good,
23:17I am bad,
23:17I am rich,
23:18I am poor,
23:18I am man,
23:19I am woman,
23:20I am Indian,
23:20I am American.
23:22I am X.
23:23This is ego.
23:25This is ego.
23:28Identification with any X is ego.
23:31Sir, so can you say,
23:35reinforcement of that ego is pride?
23:38A part of...
23:39You know,
23:40have you seen those who are always playing the victim?
23:45I am the one always being stamped upon,
23:49and always being kicked around.
23:51They are some of the most egoistic persons.
23:55So, in the exact opposite of pride,
23:58there can be great ego.
24:01There is somebody
24:02who is kicking someone around.
24:05The one
24:05who is kicking somebody like this.
24:08You will say,
24:09such an egoistic person.
24:11Yes, he might be egoistic.
24:12But the one who is being kicked around
24:14is equally egoistic.
24:15So, pride in particular
24:17does not have anything to do with ego.
24:20Pride has only as much to do with ego
24:22as the so-called common kind of humility.
24:27Pride and humility
24:29in the dualistic sense
24:31are two sides of the same coin.
24:34And both sides are egoistic
24:36because in both there is
24:37I am X.
24:40I am X.
24:42I am the victim.
24:44I am the victimizer.
24:47I am the winner.
24:48I am the loser.
24:50Somebody says,
24:51I am the winner.
24:52You will say,
24:52pride,
24:53ego.
24:54No, no, no.
24:54Somebody says,
24:55I am the loser.
24:58That's every bit as much ego.
25:03I am X is ego.
25:05X could be
25:06anything.
25:09Not just pride or success
25:11or victory
25:12or money or whatever.
25:13I am pretty.
25:16That's ego.
25:18I am ugly.
25:20That too is ego.
25:21To the extent that
25:22I am the body.
25:24Even this is ego.
25:26In fact,
25:26this is the mother statement
25:28of the ego.
25:28I am the body.
25:32Sir,
25:32and you also say
25:33to see the falseness
25:35of that ego.
25:36So right now,
25:37my mind,
25:38the base of the mind
25:40is ego.
25:41Whatever I am doing
25:42is most of the stuff
25:43are coming from ego,
25:45the Ankara center point.
25:47So now if I question it
25:50and it will collapse,
25:53okay,
25:53but then the mind
25:55ka yardstick
25:56was that ego,
25:57right?
25:57So then it will center.
26:00So then the mind
26:02will go to anxiety.
26:04Like the anxiety
26:04will develop.
26:05Who is saying this?
26:08The experience
26:08I have gone through.
26:10No.
26:11See,
26:12you are the ego.
26:14Let's say,
26:14let's say you are the ego.
26:17And
26:18if I am saying
26:22from here,
26:23let's say this mic,
26:25this equipment
26:26is very dear to you.
26:27because you are identified
26:28with it.
26:29So you say,
26:30I am the holder
26:31of the mic.
26:32So X equals
26:33holder of the mic.
26:36And I am saying,
26:37you know,
26:38you don't need to have
26:39any X whatsoever.
26:42Pure I am is liberation,
26:44freedom,
26:44joy and bliss.
26:45but you are identified
26:47but you are identified
26:47with the mic.
26:48For you,
26:49the mic is
26:50life itself
26:52because I am X.
26:55Remove X
26:56and I am dead
26:57because I am
26:58I am X.
27:02Remove X.
27:03Who am I?
27:04Dead.
27:05Right?
27:05So I say,
27:06no,
27:06you remove this.
27:08What will you do?
27:09You will say,
27:10if it is removed,
27:11I will get anxious.
27:11Please don't remove it.
27:12I will resist.
27:13You will resist
27:14because you know
27:15only life
27:16as the holder
27:17of the mic.
27:19And
27:19remaining
27:20the holder
27:20of the mic,
27:21you are trying
27:22to speculate
27:23about life
27:24that is free
27:25of the mic.
27:26Who is speculating?
27:29The free one
27:30or the one
27:31in bondage?
27:33The intelligent.
27:35Who are you
27:36right now?
27:37The holder
27:37of the mic.
27:38And you are
27:39speculating
27:39about a future
27:40free of the mic.
27:43In that future,
27:44would you still
27:45be the same?
27:46No.
27:46Remember,
27:47these two
27:47always go together
27:49in dualistic pairs.
27:51If you have
27:52the mic,
27:52you are one person.
27:53And this person
27:55is probably
27:56rightly thinking
27:57that without
27:58the mic,
27:58I am dead.
28:00because this
28:01and this
28:01go together.
28:02What this
28:03person is
28:04not realizing
28:05is that
28:06the moment
28:06the mic is
28:07gone,
28:09you two
28:09would be gone
28:10and there
28:10would be
28:10somebody else
28:11because these
28:12two go around
28:12in pairs.
28:13That's duality.
28:16This one
28:16is afraid
28:17of losing
28:17the mic.
28:18Would that
28:18one be afraid?
28:20But you
28:20would be that
28:21one,
28:21so why are
28:21you afraid?
28:23Okay.
28:26A and B
28:27go together.
28:28Okay.
28:30When B
28:31goes,
28:33A becomes
28:34A dash.
28:35Now,
28:36A is
28:37justifiably
28:38afraid
28:38of losing
28:39B
28:39because
28:40AB
28:41is life.
28:42I am
28:42X.
28:43AB
28:43is life.
28:45I am
28:45X.
28:47What
28:47A is not
28:48considering
28:48is that
28:49when B
28:50would be
28:50gone,
28:51then A
28:52too
28:52would be
28:52gone
28:53and A
28:53would
28:53become
28:54A dash.
28:55And this
28:56A dash
28:57is not
28:58somebody
28:58who is
28:58going to
28:59be afraid.
29:00But
29:00remaining
29:01A,
29:01you are
29:02imagining
29:03a future
29:03without
29:04B.
29:06Remaining
29:07A,
29:08you are
29:09imagining
29:10a future
29:11without
29:11B.
29:12What you
29:12are not
29:12seeing is
29:13that without
29:14B,
29:14you will
29:15no more
29:15be A.
29:16So you
29:17will not
29:17be afraid.
29:18Only A
29:18is afraid.
29:19And that's
29:20what all
29:21these B's
29:22do to
29:22our life.
29:23we think
29:26we brought
29:27this into
29:28our life.
29:29No.
29:29Whatever
29:30you bring
29:30to your
29:31life
29:31changes
29:32you.
29:32And
29:33changes
29:33you in
29:34a way
29:34that makes
29:35you
29:35dependent
29:35on this.
29:37And then
29:38the argument
29:38you will
29:39advance is,
29:40if I lose
29:41this,
29:41then I'll
29:41die.
29:42No,
29:43sir,
29:43that's not
29:43your argument.
29:45That's
29:45the argument
29:46of this
29:47collective
29:48joint
29:48dualistic
29:49entity.
29:52And you
29:53see how
29:54this prevents
29:54us from
29:55taking right
29:55decisions?
29:57Do you
29:58see this?
29:59If I do
29:59that,
30:00what will
30:00happen of
30:00me?
30:01Sir,
30:01sir,
30:01if you
30:02do the
30:02right
30:02thing,
30:03you will
30:04no more
30:04be the
30:05person who
30:05is afraid
30:05right now.
30:07Right
30:08now,
30:08you are
30:08the person
30:09who is
30:09not doing
30:10the right
30:10thing,
30:10that's
30:10why you
30:11are afraid.
30:12Once you
30:12get into
30:13the right
30:13thing,
30:14the person
30:14will change.
30:15And when
30:15the person
30:16will change,
30:16this fear
30:17will be
30:17gone.
30:18So why
30:18are you
30:19needlessly
30:19afraid on
30:20behalf of
30:21somebody
30:21else?
30:25What we
30:26are not
30:27seeing here
30:28is the
30:29flux that
30:31the self
30:32is,
30:32the ego
30:33is.
30:34The ego
30:34is an
30:34entity,
30:36not of
30:37itself,
30:38not absolute
30:38or independent
30:39in any sense.
30:40The ego
30:40is forever
30:41dependent on
30:42the
30:42mic.
30:44which means
30:46how you
30:48are and
30:48how you
30:49are presently
30:49surrounded and
30:50how your
30:50conditioning
30:51has been.
30:54That's what
30:55constitutes the
30:56ego.
30:57But we
30:58think of the
30:58ego as the
30:59absolute truth.
31:00We think of
31:01the ego as
31:01the pure
31:01self.
31:03We think of
31:04the ego as
31:04something that
31:04is not going
31:05to change.
31:06So it
31:06immediately
31:07changes.
31:09I'll give you
31:09an example.
31:10let there
31:11be total
31:11darkness in
31:12this hall.
31:14And you
31:15are being
31:15told to
31:16enter this
31:16hall and
31:17you are
31:17very afraid.
31:18There are
31:18some sounds
31:19as well.
31:20There is
31:20darkness,
31:21pitch dark
31:21and something
31:23is creating
31:24some sound
31:24and you
31:25are afraid.
31:26You are
31:26afraid.
31:28Who are
31:28you?
31:29Right now
31:30you are
31:31the one who
31:31does not
31:32know what
31:32is within.
31:34So you
31:35are afraid.
31:36You are
31:37saying if I
31:37enter I
31:38die.
31:38there must
31:40be some
31:40disembodied
31:41being here,
31:41some ghost
31:42something and
31:42I'll be
31:43killed.
31:44What if I
31:45switch on
31:46the lights?
31:49The ego
31:49has changed.
31:51You are
31:51now the
31:52knower.
31:53You are
31:53now the
31:53knower.
31:54Now where
31:54is the
31:54fear?
31:56Where is
31:56the fear?
31:57But you
31:58were being
31:59afraid on
32:00behalf of
32:00somebody else.
32:02What we
32:03do not
32:03realize is
32:03that the
32:04self
32:04changes.
32:06The self
32:07changes.
32:07We do
32:07not realize.
32:08We are
32:09needlessly
32:09afraid for
32:10the future.
32:12And that
32:12blocks a
32:13lot of
32:14right action.
32:16In fact,
32:16all the
32:16right action
32:17gets blocked
32:18only because
32:18of fear of
32:19consequences.
32:20No?
32:21Yes, I
32:21want to do
32:22the right
32:22things.
32:22But what
32:23if I
32:23starve?
32:24Sir, who
32:25is saying
32:26this?
32:27The one
32:28who is not
32:28doing the
32:29right thing
32:29is saying
32:29this.
32:30The one
32:30who actually
32:31does the
32:31right thing
32:32is neither
32:34afraid and
32:35nor does
32:35he starve.
32:36do the
32:39right thing
32:39and see
32:40whether you
32:41are still
32:41afraid.
32:42You won't
32:42be.
32:42Hmm?
32:43I
32:49have joined
32:52from Dubai.
32:53I run a company
32:55here.
32:55I'm the CEO of the company.
32:56So those
32:57things which
32:57are told
32:59or by the
33:01so-called
33:03Babaji's or
33:04priest or
33:05any kind of
33:06spiritual
33:07definition which
33:08we see nowadays
33:09which is quite
33:10famous,
33:11you will easily
33:13can verify that
33:13they are all
33:14false.
33:15They don't hold
33:16logic.
33:16They are mostly
33:17on emotions
33:17or beliefs
33:18or some
33:19kind of
33:20assumptions
33:20which goes
33:22through
33:22generations
33:23in the
33:24society
33:24or the
33:24tradition.
33:25So that's
33:26where this
33:27brings a
33:28very much
33:28clarity in
33:29terms of
33:29refinement
33:29or in
33:30terms of
33:31giving a
33:31very crystal
33:32clear view
33:33of that
33:34these are
33:34all false.
33:35And that's
33:35the whole
33:36purpose.
33:36To go to
33:38the truth
33:38you have
33:38to remove
33:39the falseness.
33:40of that
33:41love.
33:42To go to
33:44the
33:45truth
33:45of that
33:47you have
33:48to
33:49love.
