00:00We have the United States government acknowledging a long-standing phenomenon.
00:04It was previously called UFOs.
00:07What do you see this phenomenon to be if there are things in the sky that are making contact
00:13with people?
00:14To the ego, everybody is an alien.
00:19We want reasons to be terrified because fearless the ego is gone.
00:25You cannot have a fearless ego.
00:27What's the point of being scared of UFOs?
00:31We are part of the universe and maybe something is coming from some point in the universe.
00:38Maybe it is not.
00:40Why should it necessarily worry us?
00:43But we have an existential compulsion to be worried.
00:49Look at all your Hollywood movies and how the aliens are portrayed.
00:53And that's when you are an alien probably in your own bedroom.
00:57That's when one is an alien at her own workplace.
01:02No relationship, nothing cordial, a huge and thick wall of separation, psychological separation
01:09that is.
01:10Are we not already aliens?
01:12You look at the way we deal with our own planet, our forests, the animals and we are treating
01:19everybody as an alien.
01:20In fact, man is an alien to himself.
01:24Do we know ourselves?
01:25Self-knowledge lies at the center of Vedanta.
01:29Know yourself.
01:30So we are aliens.
01:31We don't need to be scared of anybody else.
01:34And yes, it is possible.
01:35It's a vast universe.
01:36There might be some kind of sentient or intelligent creatures somewhere.
01:44Why should that surprise us?
