00:00So from a spiritual perspective, what do you think should be the basis of division of labour?
00:06Let's take the example of a Buddhist Sangh.
00:09There is a Buddha, there are his top monks, the senior fellows, and it's a huge Sangh.
00:17It had already become quite expansive in his lifetime.
00:22And so all kinds of things are happening.
00:26Also at some point he had admitted women.
00:28So that angle too has to be managed.
00:32Now the thing is, how do you divide labour really?
00:36Do you want to have the Buddha do menial tasks?
00:42If you say the Buddha must go and cook, it's a wastage and it's a wastage to the entire world.
00:55And the Buddha too, in a personal sense, if at all anything remains of his personhood, does not gain anything.
01:01Just as he was not gaining anything by continuing to be a prince, similarly he is not gaining anything by
01:09being a cook.
01:10So he must be stationed at a kind of job that befits the level of his consciousness.
01:20So that's how division of labour must happen.
01:23Division of labour is simply contingent on the station of consciousness.
01:31Figure out where does the person stand internally and accordingly let him work.
01:38The estates of engine as a phosphates to the moon, live in the air to the moon.
01:39When the new moon comes in and running, the moon comes out of the air to the moon,
01:39And you know what you've got, everybody?
01:39So are we going home?
01:39So are we going home?
