Transcript
00:00When you call up your mother, the first thing on your mind is the sugar levels.
00:04Did you get your checkups done? Did you visit the doctor in time?
00:07One cannot say my job as a son is to ensure that my parents live long.
00:13Yes, they must live long.
00:15But more importantly, they must live deep.
00:19And that is something very missing from our cultural contexts.
00:25When the kid is young, just a toddler,
00:28the mother would take great care of the kid's body.
00:32So much care that the kid might even be a bit overweight and look cute.
00:36And the kid is being massaged two hours a day and given timely bath and food and everything.
00:43The kid is now four, five.
00:45But the mother does not know or maybe does not care.
00:49That is also the age of fundamental psychological and cognitive development.
00:55What will you do with a healthy body if inside the healthy body you are frustrated, restless, even suffering?
01:04How did you gain admission to this institute?
01:08By displaying your body?
01:09By showing off your muscles?
01:11By parading your pretty self?
01:14Or did you have to demonstrate the power and purity of your consciousness?
01:20I don't think I need to clarify that I am not against taking care of the physical well-being of
01:29those you are related to.
01:30That's basics, obviously.
01:32My condition is, as human beings, we are characterized by our consciousness rather than our body.
