00:00In Finland in general it's, I guess, it's considered polite to just leave people alone, keep your distance and most of the...
00:09Not to do this.
00:10Yeah, definitely not. No, no, no.
00:13Frankly, this kind of a touch-you behaviour and pat-you and hug-you behaviour, even if I'm sweating, and you too are sweating, I still want to touch you all over.
00:26Frankly, it is because of the heritage coming down from the saints.
00:31Do not be so distant. Come a little closer.
00:35But then love is not about this physical kind of nearness.
00:41Love is about, first of all, knowing what is right, doing it for yourself and enabling the other to live the right way as well.
00:52So that's called really getting close to the other.
00:55So the saints said, get close to the other to enable the other to get close to the truth.
01:02That's the complete statement coming down from, let's say, Vedanta.

01:14Which part of the sentence did we keep?
01:18Get close to the other.
01:19Get close to the other.
01:20Get close to the other.
01:21So this much we remember.
01:23All over Southeast Asia, this is the culture.
