00:21And when he spends so much, he has to borrow from the local money lender at exorbitant rates.
00:27That compounds very quickly.
00:30And on top of that, if there is a bad summer or a failed monsoon, the farmer is often pushed to suicide along with other contributing factors obviously.

01:22That's what lack of wisdom or spiritual foundation does.
