00:00The problem is not that we go and seek validation from others.
00:04The problem is that we have a broken relationship with ourselves.
00:09We keep talking of relationships.
00:11We don't talk of the first, most fundamental, most important relationship.
00:15All your life you have to live basically with yourself.
00:19Even when you are with others, have you not experienced loneliness?
00:22You might be surrounded, you might be in a crowd and still there is loneliness.
00:26Not experience that because you have to live with?
00:30Yourself.
00:31So maintain that relationship.
00:33Do well there.
00:34And the word there is honesty.
00:36No trick, no magic, no formula can be a substitute for that.
00:42Honesty.
00:43Honesty.
00:44Doesn't matter even if I have won the race.
00:46I know for myself I didn't run well.
00:51They might have given me the gold medal.
00:53But I know for myself I am not proud of how I run.
00:56All wisdom literature, all spiritual practices, all philosophy stops at that point.
01:05Honesty.
01:06That little thing.
01:07A love for truth rather than personal weaknesses.
