00:00You have introduced millions and millions of people to the Vedanta and the Bhagavad Gita,
00:06which are very influential texts for us.
00:08Explain what they have to offer to the modern world today.
00:12Actually, they have nothing to offer at all.
00:16They are there to take away a lot.
00:19And that's why they are much more relevant today than they were at any other point in history.
00:26Because we have more today than we ever had.
00:29That's what rigorous philosophy does.
00:31That's what Vedanta does.
00:33It questions.
00:34It's not there to give you something additionally.
00:38You are carrying so much.
00:40And that which you are carrying is just a burden.
00:44Therefore, the verses are often repetitive.
00:47Because from this place, from that place, this dimension, that angle,
00:52they just want to question, to attack, to provoke inquiry.
00:56And the very purpose of inquiry is unburdening.
01:01Unburdening.
01:02You are carrying this belief.
01:04You are carrying that identity.
01:05Is any of that real?
01:07Is any of that needed?
01:09That's what the Upanishads are asking you.
01:12Every verse, every chapter, every page, every Upanishad.
01:16You are carrying that identity.
01:16You are carrying that identity.
01:16You are carrying that identity.
01:18You are carrying that identity.
01:18You are carrying that identity.
01:18You are carrying that identity.
01:19You are carrying that identity.
