00:00Think of the daily wage laborer and you would laugh at him if you learn that he
00:09slogs the entire day and then purchases some local liquor out of the daily wage,
00:17the daily proceeds. You'll say look at him malnourished, slogging, deprived,
00:23famished, works the entire day and what does he do with his money? Intoxicates
00:28himself. What else do we do? Work hard the entire day and then use the money to
00:40intoxicate ourselves so that we can forget the silly and sorrowful condition
00:52we are in right and that's why that that poor man has to drink so that he can
00:57forget his condition earns some 400 500 by 5 p.m. 6 p.m. lives hand-to-mouth
01:05100 200 spends arranging meals the remaining amount
01:141. What else is any professional doing? Please tell me.
01:19Just that the numbers are bigger. We are falling doubly.
01:261. The work does not elevate us. That is first thing. That's the inner fall.
01:311. And the second fall is what we get out of that work is invested at all the stupid places.
01:402. What if the same effort that you put in in service of your paymaster, if that same effort
01:50went in a higher direction? Think of what could have been possible.
