Transcript
00:13Why do you have to be such an intellectual giant, dynamic, interesting, attractive and
00:23such a passionate speaker with so much love that you draw somebody like me?
00:32But you compelled me to take trains across London, come running.
00:37I'll have to then invert the question.
00:40Why do you make me cross the oceans and come to you?
00:48You have answered.
00:50You have answered.
00:54This is who he is and he does it with a sweetest smile.
00:58And then so much compassion.
01:00Did you see the whole hall change today?
01:03Just as it came freshly to you, it came equally freshly to me, well almost.
01:09Just as you were watching it from your seat.
01:13In some sense, I am also a stranger to it.
01:16My only job is to put myself aside and let the speaking happen.
01:21And I am not saying that as an idea or a principle or rhetoric, actually.
01:27There are days when I struggle, mostly in the beginning, to put myself aside.
01:33And then I know that there is too much of me in what is being said.
01:38But then after some 10-15 minutes, slowly I manage to relax and put myself to sleep.
01:44Right?
01:44And then the thing happens that you are talking of, but I am a stranger to that.
01:50I don't really own that.
01:52I don't really do that.
01:53And very humbly, I must admit, I am not a participant in that.
01:57So that is the reason why I offer Namaste to my chair when I get up.
02:01Yes.
02:02So, I want to put it this way, that the chair does it to me.
02:06It's not that the chair actually does it, but the thing is, by attributing the chair with
02:10that action or that effect, I am humbly reliving myself of what has been done.
02:16So what I am saying is, this was not coming from me, maybe it came from the chair.
02:20So Namaste to the chair.
02:22I am so happy to see you, yet one more trip, Suviye.
