00:00I was going through your book Truths Without Apology and I came across this quote
00:04The world is dependent on your mind and your mind is dependent on the world
00:08So how can we develop our mind to not make decisions based on circumstance
00:14And how can we actually know our true aspirations
00:19See the mind and the world will always go together
00:22So do not say my mind is influenced by the world that is a problem
00:26That is fine
00:27The problem is out of the infinite number of objects in the infinite universe
00:34How did you decide to place certain things in the mind and reject other things
00:40That is the question
00:41And the moment that question arises
00:43The intelligent one would ask important for whom
00:46I need to know what is important
00:47Important for whom
00:49Important for me
00:50Now if I do not know what this thing called me is
00:55Then how will I know what is important for that one
00:58And we don't go into that because our education system
01:01Does not give any weightage to that
01:04It's assumed that if you know about the world
01:07That would suffice
01:08How?
01:08The world is infinite
01:10How will you decide what to go for?
01:13That is the more fundamental thing
01:14So what to do?
01:16See how you operate
01:17Observe yourself in motion
01:19See how your decisions happen
01:21See how thoughts arise
01:23And when you see that
01:24Then a certain clarity emerges
01:27Then a lot of the clutter
01:30The clamor gets cleared
01:32And when you see that
01:32Then a lot of the clutter
01:32Then a lot of the clutter
01:33Then a lot of the clutter
01:34Then a lot of the clutter
01:35Then a lot of the clutter
01:35Then a lot of the clutter
01:35Then a lot of the clutter
01:35Then a lot of the clutter
