00:00People who looked otherwise so very mentally balanced and healthy
00:05when Freud went into their dreams
00:07or when Freud applied the method of hypnosis to them
00:09so much horrible stuff emerged from within them
00:13we have become very skillful at hiding what is really inside us
00:18hiding not to others but to ourselves
00:20and that's called absence of self-knowledge
00:23we do not even know that we are suffering
00:25and that's the thing with the compassion of the sages
00:28you do not know you are suffering but he knows that you are suffering
00:31and when he comes to tell you that you are suffering
00:33he says I was not suffering till this point
00:35but you have come and you are unnecessarily impressing upon me that I am suffering
00:40you are my suffering
00:41that's a very real problem you're right
00:42and that's also the reason why in today's world
00:45when we have more objects to gratify ourselves
00:48historically the common man never had such an abundance of objects to choose from
00:52it becomes even more difficult to show it to someone that you are suffering
00:56but when you go into the subtle indicators
00:58for example the metrics of mental health
01:02then you find that the level of anxiety in the common man today
01:05in several circles is equivalent to the level of anxiety in soldiers fighting in World War II
01:12are we suffering or not
01:13are we suffering or not
