00:00I wanted to know how can an individual live a life without seeking validation or recognition
00:06from an authoritative figure, especially when it has been withheld in the past?
00:10What you do not want is an external authority.
00:14It's not that you do not want an authority at all.
00:19Let your best discretion be the authority.
00:22We are not one being, right?
00:24Have you seen?
00:25One part of you wants to play mischief.
00:27One part of you wants to say, no, what's the point in completing the assignment?
00:31Let me copy it from somewhere.
00:33What's the point in waking up, preparing for the exam?
00:37Let me just sleep through it.
00:39That's one part.
00:40And then the other part says, no, no.
00:42So there is a higher self within and there is a lower self within.
00:48Let the higher self be the authority.
00:51The punishment for not having an internal authority is that you'll have to tolerate an external authority.
00:57Do you want to tolerate that?
00:59Then be your own strictest authority.
01:03If it's my life, then it's my responsibility.
01:05If it's my life, then I have to be the authority.
01:08I'll be the king and the queen of my life because it's my life.
01:11Why should I need somebody to discipline me?
