00:00There is a sense of insecurity within myself and I don't understand why this.
00:05Do you earn?
00:06Yes.
00:07Are you educated?
00:08Yes.
00:09You are healthy?
00:10Yes.
00:10Okay.
00:11If you choose freedom in your day-to-day choices, can somebody take away your health?
00:16No.
00:17Do you stand to lose your livelihood?
00:20No.
00:20You heard that story of the little elephant?
00:23How when it's a baby, it's tied to a pole using a very normal rope.
00:29But because the elephant is very young, it does not yet have the power to break the rope.
00:35When the elephant looks at the pillar and the rope, it says,
00:39These are destiny. I cannot fight them.
00:42Because the elephant is still just an infant.
00:44The tragedy is the elephant grows up and does not revise his conclusions.
00:51The elephant is still afraid.
00:52Whenever there is fear, insecurity, look for the object that terrifies you.
00:57If you do find an object, search for ways to negotiate it, to work around it, or to struggle with
01:04it.
01:05And if you do not find an object, in spite of all your attempts, but I am just afraid,
01:10there is only memory and habit and laziness.
01:13The elephant has grown up but is too lazy to revisit the conclusions he once arrived at.
01:21A lazy elephant.
01:22Lazy elephant.
