00:00 being born with some impurities that need to be corrected.

00:06 Lots of, only impurities are born.

00:10 Could another way of looking at this be that a baby when they are born, they are still

00:15 not corrupted by the impurities of the present world, they may have some from their past

00:21 reincarnations.

00:22 Who brought impurities in the present world?

00:23 Did they rain from the skies?

00:27 You would say the elders, but the elders were babies one day.

00:31 Where did they get the impurities from?

00:33 First of all, spirituality is about realizing that all nonsense emanates from the DNA.

00:40 You are born with nonsense, that body identification is the fundamental problem and the root cause

00:46 of all violence.

00:48 It's the body that is violent because it is the body that is coming from the jungle.

00:52 We share this body with the chimpanzees, with the dinosaurs, with the lions, tigers.

00:57 Every single animal in the jungle is this body and therefore all the problems of the

01:03 jungle are contained in this body.

01:06 It's just that jungle does not have the weaponry, the ammunition to execute all the nonsense

01:14 that arises as some kind of impulse from this body.

01:20 So they only have impulses, but they cannot execute those impulses.

01:23 When we have impulses, we have missiles to execute them because we have intellect.

01:31 Animals only have animalistic prakriti, but they don't have missiles and guns and computers.

01:37 We are animals with missiles and guns and computers.

01:40 So we are far more dangerous.

01:41 Isn't that a guilt ridden way to think of life?

01:46 That's a fateful way.

01:48 If that gives us guilt, fine.

01:50 To me that gives us responsibility and to me that gives us a glimmer of hope.

01:55 I might be born an animal, but the potential to die free of the animal is possible.

02:02 In some sense, then veganism is about gaining freedom from the animal.

02:06 It's not about protecting the animal.

02:08 When you say you are dependent on animal products, what are you doing?

02:13 You are dependent on somebody.

02:14 So veganism is about gaining freedom from the animal, the outer animal and the inner

02:19 animal.

02:20 Presently, because we are dependent on the inner animal, so we are dependent on the outer

02:27 animal as well.

02:28 When you are truly spiritual, then you are not dependent on the outer or the inner animal.

02:38 You are free of both and you can't be free of just one of them.

02:42 When there will be freedom, freedom will have both the sides.

02:45 Thank you.
