00:00Nowadays students feel loneliness even when they are surrounded by people or their family.
00:06So what is the inner cause of that loneliness and emptiness within them?
00:10We train people into feeling lonely.
00:13A youngster, he's shown movies in which there always are couples.
00:16The consequence is you are forced to feel lonely, right?
00:20You go to weddings, you are forced to feel lonely as a single one.
00:23And there is just so much out there that is attacking you subliminally, subconsciously
00:29and making you feel lonely for some reason or the other.
00:32For the lack of a partner, lack of money, lack of this, lack of that.
00:36But a big part of loneliness is physical also, biological.
00:40The child is born lonely.
00:42The child is born, looks here and there, can't see the mother, starts crying.
00:46You see that this desire to be with something or somebody takes you nowhere.
00:52You see that even if you are with an entire hall of people or with a whole palace full of goods,
01:00you'd still continue to be lonely.
01:03Loneliness is a thing that cannot be treated with objects.
01:06Then you turn inwards and look at the very root of loneliness.
01:10That is the ego, the little self.
01:12And the more you enter it, the more you understand it,
01:15the more you know the games of the ego,
01:17the more you can smile at your loneliness.
