00:01Baby, I love you as you are.
00:08Somebody who says, oh I love you as you are, just cannot be your lover.
00:12Run away.
00:12Your lover has to be somebody who keeps refusing you 40 times a day.
00:19How can you be with someone who says, no, I like you as you are.
00:23Dull, gloomy, ignorant.
00:25Just run away.
00:26Don't even wait for the cab.
00:28Just run away.
00:28Love is not an emotion.
00:30Love primarily is a spiritual understanding.
00:33From that comes a high quality relationship with the other.
00:37In that relationship, you want to elevate the other.
00:40You don't want to exploit the other.
00:41You don't want to just eat into, bite into somebody's body.
00:45Nor is love some kind of recipe to temporarily heal somebody's loneliness.
00:52The kind of meanings that we associate with love are highly demeaning actually.
00:58Love implies get rid of your self-centered life.
01:02Do not be associated with the other in order to get something from her.
01:07Be associated with the other to give something to her.
01:11And what is it that you give to her?
01:13That which she needs.
01:15Give her the capacity to really see life.
01:18Stand independently.
01:20Live in freedom.
01:21Live in clarity.
01:22And therefore, live in joy beyond sorrow.
01:25Here's what I would say about peace.
01:29I'll see you next time.
