00:00How do we stop focusing on something else when you're studying?
00:07There's this and there's this.
00:09So when it comes to your studies, you talk of distractions.
00:13What is it besides the studies that you start focusing on?
00:18Like sinking?
00:21Singing?
00:23Yeah.
00:24Yeah, right.
00:25So when you sing, the benefit, the pleasure, the fun that you derive from it is very visible.
00:32Just like this thing is visible here.
00:35Right?
00:36Yeah.
00:37Studies is much like this can, this container.
00:43It is opaque.
00:44We do not like studies because studies are a bit like this.
00:48We do not immediately see what is within.
00:51Our teachers do not pay enough attention to telling us why one must study.
01:00And sometimes even our parents tell us to study without exactly clarifying what is it in the studies that's beneficial to us.
01:11Other things, the benefit you get from them is very apparent.
01:18So the other things become very tempting.
01:21In studies, you cannot see the benefit contained within.
01:26So you remain, it's all very iffy.
01:30How to test?
01:31Come close.
01:31Give yourself to the process of studying deeply at least for a week and see what comes from there.
01:40Don't teach me mathematics.
01:42Tell me why mathematics.
01:45Tell me why history.
01:47And when that why is clear, then there is a great chance that an inclination will arise from within.
01:55Because it's natural for us to know, to learn, provided we can see the benefit.
