00:00My question is related to chapter number 10 particularly which very struck a chord because it is about self-victimization
00:07and I have often times found in my life that people who are driven by desires, sakami individuals and their
00:16actions
00:16not only affect their lives but also at the same time spill into my own life also.
00:23I am doing the best again remaining desireless driven from desireless action but still you know somewhere I think that
00:35so is that self-victimization?
00:38Yeah there has to be an underlying desire if you allow someone's influence to penetrate you there definitely is a
00:48desire being out there.
00:51You have to figure out nobody can instill your mind without you being desirous in some way.
01:06Love and desire are different.
01:13If somebody incruences you, hurts you, you have to figure out that there is an expectation there.
01:24An expectation from my...
01:27Obvious, it has to be clear otherwise there can be no hurt.
01:31No.
01:32Otherwise disappointment is not possible.
01:35An expectation is desired.
01:37If we want to take care of disappointment while retaining the desire, that's all we have.
01:43It always seems that if I am trying to let that person go whatever I am, it means I will
01:48let them go.
01:49But it's into some reason shape or some expectation is still.
01:53Whether or more you can have a picture of it, I know it's your shape.
01:57I know.
01:58Thank you sir.
01:59Thank you sir.
01:59Thank you sir.
02:00Thank you sir.
02:00Thank you sir.
