00:00Namaste Acharya Jai. Thank you so much for this book and I was actually reading this chapter and this part stuck me the most which says the message is simple. If you speak fluently, you're worth listening to. And if you can confidently spout gibberish, you're celebrated. This is what we now reward.
00:19So my question is, you know, how should I differentiate whether am I speaking fluently out of depth or am I just being confidently gibberish because there are a lot of times that I'm just speaking a lot of words.
00:35But the attention has to be on the centre the words are coming from. The problem is when the attention is on fluency and confidence. Fluency is not a problem. Confidence is not a bad thing in itself.
00:58The problem is when you assume confidence to be substance. Because all you care for is the exterior. If your entire eloquence is coming from deep clarity, then it's fine.
01:22You can go on and on and on and on and on and speak for hours with the greatest fluency possible. And then it is nobody's point that fluency is bad or evil or shallow. No, no, no, no.
01:40One has to look at the centre. From that centre, if one stammers, from the right centre, even if you hesitate and struggle and stammer, it is still fine.
01:53From the right centre, if you just take baby steps and struggle, even that is fine.
02:03But from the wrong centre, even if you take giant leaps, that is still going to be toxic. I can fly or I can crawl.
