00:00Never trust yourself.
00:03There are so many things that we believe we are in control of,
00:07whereas actually a lot of it is being guided by the situation
00:10or the bodily response and so on.
00:14We construct these narratives about ourselves
00:16and that's where a lot of the psychological distress comes from.
00:22I advise myself and people around me
00:24not to be too confident of themselves.
00:27Skepticism is a great policy when it comes to the self.
00:33I'll narrate it to you.
00:34It's in Hindi and they'll translate it.
00:37Kisi par bharosa garlo, khud par mat karna.
00:41That means you could be pardoned for trusting anybody,
00:45but never trust yourself.
00:49Anybody could be reliable,
00:51but when it comes to you, you are not reliable,
00:54which basically means keep testing.
00:57Keep testing.
00:58And that testing requires honesty
01:00and also an external verifier.
01:03That external verifier is the friend, the teacher,
01:06the guide, the mirror, the scripture,
01:08and great books and libraries and everything.
01:11Everything.
01:11You have to have the intent to use everything
01:14to come to the truth.
