Transcript
00:00While I listen to you sir, my mind also goes here and there. How can I catch myself?
00:05Do you drive? Yes sir.
00:07When the road is tough, there are bumps and potholes, crude traffic.
00:12Do you find yourself concentrating?
00:14Compared to a situation when you find the road clear, the traffic smooth.
00:20When do you concentrate more? When the road is tough.
00:23And when the going seems easy and smooth.
00:26We all allow ourselves to take care of other things. At least mentally, don't we?
00:31So what do you learn of yourself from this?
00:34You allow yourself to be distracted. Not that you get distracted.
00:39It is a decision that gets taken when you feel you are in control.
00:44When you are in control, then you can wander this or that side.
00:49Take a stroll, be absent for a while and all that won't be very costly. No?
00:54When I am speaking to you, do not allow yourself to feel as if you are in control.
00:59As if you understand what's going on. That's your problem.
01:03Be attentive to the extent of being afraid.
01:07And I am saying this very responsibly. Afraid of missing the happening.
01:12Because this may not return to you easily. This may not return to you for many centuries.
01:19Peace.
