00:00So, once Masu and Pai Chang were walking along and they saw some wild ducks fly by.
00:08So, Masu, who is also the master, M asks, what is that?
00:13P, the disciple replies, wild ducks.
00:17So, M asks, hmm, smart answer, wild ducks.
00:21Now, where have they gone?
00:22So, P says, they have flown away, so good so far.
00:26M turns towards P, grabs his nose and twists it, and P cries out in pain.
00:33And M says, when have they ever flown away?
00:37You understand?
00:39The lesson being delivered is, just as the birds are Prakrate, you too are Prakrate.
00:46Even if you have emerged out of the jungle, the animal still exists inside you.
00:52But you think, oh, those are the animals, and see those animals are now gone.
00:59No, they haven't gone.
01:01They exist within you.
01:04And the proof of that is your very behaviour, your relationships, your thoughts, your feelings.
01:11All are animalistic.
01:13When you see that you are an animal, then the seeing liberates you from the animal.
01:22All are animalistic.
