00:00What should be the wise or smart approach so that our pursuit of purpose also leads to genuine meaning and
00:06fulfillment in life.
00:07The moment you say purpose, what you get is a very limited list to choose from.
00:13And that limited list has been supplied to you by the crowd, by tradition, by history, by surroundings, by peers.
00:20Now, what can determine your purpose?
00:23Only your own situation.
00:25And you are situated in this world.
00:28So there is this.
00:29There is this.
00:30And if I know both of them, a purpose will spontaneously arise.
00:37But instead, we allow the crowd to dictate our purpose.
00:40You see, how loveless the crowd is.
00:44This one, the wise one would come and convince me against what I have decided.
00:47For 40 days, you said, I have finally found the ultimate purpose of life.
00:52And then you are again waiting for somebody to lean on.
00:58And this person will now come in and hand over another purpose.
01:03Please understand, this and this.
01:06And then you will get something that may have nothing to do with what the crowd does and yet may
01:12be just the right thing for you.
01:13And if we know that, then we will know what next to do.
01:18Spontaneous, effortless action arises.
01:20Spontaneous, effortless action arises.
01:20And you are unstoppable.
01:21Because you know, nobody can convince you against your own discretion.
01:26Spontaneous, effortless action arises.
01:30Spontaneous, effortless action arises.
