00:00You touch something within me that is also real.
00:08Charejji, I have so many beautiful things that I haven't come to the taxi today.
00:15I haven't come to the taxi yet.
00:17Now, you tell me.
00:19Why do you have to be such an intellectual giant?
00:24Dynamic, interesting, attractive and such a passionate speaker with so much love.
00:32That you draw somebody like me.
00:37But you compelled me to take trains across London, come running.
00:42I'll have to then invert the question.
00:45Why do you make me cross the oceans and come to you?
00:53You have answered.
00:55You have answered.
00:56You have answered.
00:59This is who he is.
01:00And he does it with the sweetest smile.
01:03And then so much compassion.
01:05Did you see the whole hall change today?
01:08Just as it came freshly to you, it came equally freshly to me.
01:13Well, almost.
01:14Just as you were watching it from your seat.
01:17In some sense, I am also a stranger to it.
01:21My only job is to put myself aside and let the speaking happen.
01:26And I am not saying that as an idea or a principle or rhetoric.
01:31Actually.
01:32There are days when I struggle.
01:35Mostly in the beginning.
01:37To put myself aside.
01:38And then I know that there is too much of me in what is being said.
01:43Then after some 10-15 minutes.
01:45Slowly I manage to relax and put myself to sleep.
01:49Right?
01:50And then the thing happens that you are talking of.
01:53But I am a stranger to that.
01:54I don't really own that.
01:57I don't really do that.
01:58And very humbly I must admit, I am not a participant in that.
02:02So that is the reason why I offer namaste to my chair when I get up.
02:06Yes.
02:07So I want to put it this way that the chair does it to me.
02:10It is not that the chair actually does it.
02:12But the thing is, by attributing the chair with that action or that effect,
02:17I am humbly relieving myself of what has been done.
02:21So what I am saying is, this was not coming from me.
02:24Maybe it came from the chair.
02:25So namaste to the chair.
02:26I am so happy to see yet one more glimpse of you.
