00:00The membership of astrology apps is skewed towards women and the question most frequently asked is
00:06when would I get married? You are just using modern means to fulfill a very primitive, very
00:14animalistic instinct. The means are modern. The instinct is primitive. Is that modernity?
00:22Wearing very hip clothes, even very revealing clothes. She is participating in some neo bogus
00:31ritual. Is that freedom? Freedom is internal to begin with. The roots of freedom are always
00:39inside us. Freedom is not demonstrative, not performative. You cannot act a certain way
00:50and say, you know, this is freedom. No. So let's take a hint from the Indian systems of philosophy.
00:58They say freedom is the goal. And then they also tell you that understanding is your very
01:05identity. Understanding not as a task, but understanding as being. I am understanding itself. When you
01:16understand what's really, really going on here, then you have taken the first baby steps and
01:24then that takes you far, very far.
