00:00Sir, you have quoted in chapter 4 that self-awareness is self-love, self-indulgence is self-deception.
00:09What I comprehend from this is that we shouldn't trust our own instincts.
00:14Sir, if I don't trust myself, then who will I choose?
00:18You're not your instincts.
00:20Because instincts are biological.
00:22And therefore, they can be challenged.
00:24They can be seen through.
00:26You're preparing for a great exam.
00:29A very important thing.
00:31And the instinct is to sleep.
00:33Has that happened?
00:34So instincts are not who you are.
00:36You are the one who knows the importance of the exam.
00:39And the instinct is physical, bodily.
00:41The instinct is saying fall asleep.
00:44So how can you and the instinct be the same entity?
00:49Instinct is the body.
00:50You are not your body.
00:52You can know what is happening in the body.
00:56And therefore, you are free to not to follow the body.
01:00Your nature is not instinct or intuition or emotion.
01:05Your nature is understanding itself.
01:08Therefore, all instincts have to be understood.
01:11Animals operate by instincts.
01:13You must not operate through your instincts.
01:15You must operate through your understanding.
