00:00Since 10th onwards, I have been into this competition, in this competition cycle.
00:05I had recently read a quote in your recent book, Truth Without Apology.
00:09The joy of overcoming yourselves is much deeper and more authentic than the fleeting pleasure of indulging yourselves.
00:16If a person is always into competition, when would he have time to pursue his passion?
00:22There are two types of competitions.
00:24One is when you are running alongside the other and continuously looking at the other.
00:36Obviously, if you are continuously looking at the other, there can be no passion, no love, no inwardness.
00:45You are just looking at the other one and the other's actions are not controlled by you.
00:50The other can suddenly slow down and you will feel happy.
00:57But this happiness is borrowed happiness, right?
01:01Something happened there and he dictated when you would be happy.
01:05Equally, the other one has the power to make you sad.
01:09He will say, let me just accelerate a bit and this one will start crying.
01:12So, this is the first kind of competition in which really there can be no fun.
01:21The second kind of competition is when you are running with yourself.
01:28You are acting because you want to act.
01:33You have known what deserves to be done and you have jumped into it and immersed.
01:47And in this, again it is possible that there are others running ahead of you, beside you, behind you.
01:54It's again possible.
01:55But now you are not looking at them.
02:00Externally, situation one and two may look almost the same.
02:06The critical difference is whether you are doing something with respect to others or whether you are doing it.
02:18Because there is joy for you in it.
02:25It's because
02:31It's because
02:33It's because
02:38It's because
