00:00People who say they remember their past lives or they have hypnosis and can remember past lives and you put
00:08any credence in those kinds of stories?
00:12Demand often drives supply. Across the world had we had not had cultures with pre-existing demand for such stories,
00:24these individuals wouldn't have bothered to tell these stories.
00:30What caused that pre-existing desire?
00:34I won't die. I won't die. I will perpetuate my existence. Which simply means I need to have more time
00:44to fulfil my desire. Simple.
00:47Even fulfilment of desire, basic material attainment of the object of your desire requires putting in a certain amount of
00:55labour, discipline, effort, all those things.
00:59Most people do not put in even that. And I am stripping that of all spiritual context. I have a
01:07big set of objects I desire.
01:13But then I am not prepared to pay the price, not prepared to burn the midnight oil, not prepared to
01:18slog it out. I am not saying all these are great virtues.
01:22But then I am not prepared to do even that what is needed to run in the worldly lanes. But
01:32the desires are still very big. So obviously I have to hope and imagine that I will get more time.
01:41That's all. That's all. That's it. Simple. Nothing else.
