Transcript
00:00If I am a spiritual person, do I need to be religious?
00:03If I am alright, I don't need to go to anything or anybody.
00:06I don't need religion, I don't even need spirituality.
00:08I don't need anything.
00:09Provided I am alright with myself.
00:12But I am not alright.
00:13And if I am not alright, then what is this thing called religion that I go to?
00:16All this talk of gods and angels and this and that.
00:20And the genesis and the creation and the day of judgment.
00:24Why do I want to go to all that?
00:25Because we are afraid.
00:26Let's face it.
00:27This thing called popular religion, I address that as lok dharma.
00:31Will it address the problem of suffering or will it deepen my suffering?
00:35Please tell me.
00:37The right word is self-knowledge.
00:39Adhyatma.
00:40Knowing yourself more deeply.
00:42Adhyatma.
00:43Self-knowledge.
00:43Know yourself because you are the sufferer.
00:45Come on, go into yourself.
00:46Go into yourself.
00:46What's really happening within?
00:47Come on, don't fake.
00:48Don't pretend.
00:49Very ruthlessly, very honestly, go into yourself.
