00:00Sir, should there be zero expectation in a relationship?
00:03Not at all, not at all.
00:04There should be great expectations in a relationship,
00:07but you must expect for that person, not for yourself.
00:11As I speak to you, some part of me expects attention,
00:15not because I want to be applauded,
00:18but because I come here to share something
00:21which I truly think is valuable.
00:23Do you get this?
00:24Expectations are beautiful, but from the right center,
00:28not for your own self-serving interests.
00:30And whether you are being self-serving or truly loving,
00:35only the mirror can tell you.
00:36Sir, this mirror that you speak of,
00:38when I look at myself in the mirror,
00:40of course I'm going to have my own, you know,
00:43fallacies about myself, but I'm a very nice person.
00:46No, no, no.
00:47How do I make sure that my mirror is honest to me?
00:49When you really love yourself,
00:53then you don't lie to the mirror.
00:56Just as the mirror never lies to you.
00:59I'm giving a very, very material example,
01:02very everyday example.
01:04If you're really concerned that you must look good for a party,
01:07will you lie to yourself that you're looking good?
01:11No.
01:11In fact, you will specifically,
01:15microscopically look for places in your appearance,
01:18in your face,
01:19where the makeup is still imperfect.
01:23Right?
01:24That's how the mirror has to be used.
01:26Similarly, the inner mirror has to be used
01:31to scrutinize the mind,
01:34the emotions,
01:35in the most minute and microscopic way possible.
01:38And we know how to do that.
01:39Right?
01:39We know how to do that.
01:41Otherwise, it won't take four hours in the parlor.
