00:00How can I stop taking things personally?
00:02The person is the first problem.
00:05Taking things personally comes much later.
00:10Why do you take seriously the person that you are?
00:15Why do you believe in your personhood so much?
00:21When you say person, you mean yourself, right?
00:25You have a certain age, certain knowledge.
00:28You come from a certain background.
00:31This is all that constitutes a person, right?
00:37That's what makes a person.
00:38The person is largely a random thing.
00:43It's just that the ego does not want to encounter the fact of randomness.
00:49So even to random events and a random collection of experiences and influences like the person, it starts claiming an
01:04agency or it starts ascribing an agency.
01:09As if there is a central entity.
01:12But there is no central entity.
01:15The central entity itself is a myth.
01:18And the entire aim of wisdom is to get rid of this fictitious central entity claiming to be real.
01:28What is this fictitious central entity called?
01:32The ego.
01:34The self.
01:35The I.
01:35Oh, yes.
01:36Oh, yes.
01:37Right?
01:38Yeah.
01:38The human.
01:39The human.
01:40The human.
01:41The human.
01:41Sold to the planet.
01:42The human.ięcy.
01:42This key.
01:42Man.ded.
01:42It's everything.
