00:00I have a question on a book titled Truth Without Apology.
00:03If truth hurts, niceness kills.
00:05Most of us won't choose truth.
00:08Why won't we be honest?
00:10Tell me where in the entire universe,
00:13at least among sentient beings,
00:15do you find truth being given greater value than self-preservation?
00:21When the tiger attacks the deer,
00:27it is from behind.
00:30The truth is not revealed.
00:32Seen the chameleon?
00:34Know of camouflage?
00:36Everything in nature is constantly lying
00:39because it wants to just continue as the body.
00:42Even if your consciousness is telling you
00:45that this is an important session,
00:47yet the body is saying,
00:48no, I'm itching here,
00:50or it's evening, I want to go somewhere else,
00:53or I want to just sleep.
00:54If truth comes in the way of self-preservation,
00:57the body will conspire against the truth.
01:01So there is a constant conflict
01:02and you have to live through that conflict.
01:06You have to side with consciousness
01:08and emerge victorious.
