00:00In our culture and also across the world, there is a great tendency to romanticize childhood.
00:07We keep saying, oh when we were kids then things were so simple, oh when we were kids
00:13then there was so much freedom, we were kids then life was not complicated and we used
00:18to laugh and sing and play and there were no divisions and there were no responsibilities.
00:23We keep saying those things and we keep yearning for the past.
00:27There is a problem here, you are no more the kid, therefore you just cannot find pleasure
00:35in the same old things, but by that I do not mean that you must not have pleasure, now you
00:42must have higher pleasures, those higher pleasures I am calling as joy.
00:47A kid looks for happiness, an infant looks for pleasure, a grown up must look for joy and
00:56because you are no more the three or thirteen year old, therefore the things that pleased
01:04those people, the little people, are not going to be of much use to you.
01:12So be very very mindful of what pleases you.
01:16Life is a journey, it's an opportunity, one has to keep moving towards betterment, towards
01:26depth, towards freedom from one's physical tendencies.
01:31Pleasures you must have, but please do not look for pleasures in the same old things.
01:38There is no need to be loyal to your childhood self, it's gone, the self is continuously changing.
01:47There is no need to be loyal to your childhood self, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's
01:48gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone.
