00:00In the next two minutes, I challenge you that I am going to put a thought in your mind and
00:05you will not be able to resist me.
00:07In the next two minutes, nobody will think of monkeys.
00:11Nobody will think of monkeys with long tails, small monkeys, large monkeys, chimpanzees, a monkey hanging by a tree.
00:23Nobody will think.
00:25I challenge you not to think.
00:27Again, a whole group of monkeys, not one, but many monkeys.
00:36Do you see how thought comes?
00:39Do you see how this mind is totally influenced from outside?
00:45I said it's a two minute experiment.
00:47You very well know it didn't last even 15 seconds.
00:50Within 15 seconds, there were only monkeys and monkeys in your mind, right?
00:54Such is our mind.
00:55All thought arises as an external influence.
01:03But let's not be disappointed because there is something deeper than thought which is totally ours.
01:11What is that?
01:12Understanding.
01:13When thought is behaving this way, there is an understanding.
01:16Oh, it's the nature of thought to be like this.
01:18Why should I be worried?
01:20Let thought do whatever it is doing.
01:21I am enjoying.
