00:00Why are men always judging women so harshly?
00:03What she wears, where she goes, what she does?
00:05Why must I look at myself in your eyes?
00:10Right?
00:11It's possible to look at oneself that way.
00:13I stare into your eyes so that I see what I look like.
00:17Why must I do that?
00:19Why must I do that?
00:20I'm alright and comfortable wearing blue.
00:23And I don't care whether you find me attractive or ugly or even loathsome.
00:29That's your problem.
00:31I am who I am.
00:32Not as a man, not as a woman, as a human being.
00:35This is something you must very quickly grow out of.
00:39Looking at yourself in others' eyes and through others' eyes.
00:43And if you have to have some other to seek your image in and to seek some validation from,
00:54let it be a Buddha, let it be a Krishna, let it be some worthy individual.
01:00Why do you need to go to some random ruffian or rascal and ask, am I sexy?
01:06If he says no, you will be disappointed.
01:09If he says yes, there is bigger trouble.
01:11Hitting it.
01:12Forbidden.
01:12Forbidden.
