00:00My question is from chapter 8, Stealing from your own pocket.

00:06It is the shortest chapter from the book, yet it is the most heinous crime we do to ourselves.

00:16My question is, why do we have such a right to do such thing?

00:23Ego does not wait to have proper rights.

00:27No stealing is done as a matter of right.

00:33It is not a right, it is just a tendency, a fundamental tendency.

00:38That is all.

00:39Nothing more to that.

00:42You cannot ask where it comes from.

00:44It just exists.

00:45If you want to ask where it comes from, it comes from the body itself.

00:49It comes from the physical structure itself, the birth itself.

00:52Well, then opposite to it, the truthfulness, honesty that we have, that is?

01:00So there is something called your tendency and something called your nature.

01:05That is what we need to.

01:07Your tendency is to steal.

01:10Your nature is to be beyond all stealing and possessiveness and possessions.

01:20So when we steal, what do we do, you know?

01:26What's the question?

01:28I don't understand.

01:29Then we, but still we steal.

01:33Why?

01:34Well, that's the tendency.

01:37Then what do we do?

01:39Know the tendency.

01:42Know that one is a thief and not decorate the theft with good names.

01:47We tend to decorate our tenants.

01:51Yeah.
