00:00 Is that not one of the mantras of today?
00:02 Feel confident, act self-assured.
00:05 But how can you act self-assured when like a puppet your strings are in 47 hands?
00:12 Today people are liking you, tomorrow they may not.
00:14 Today somebody professes closeness to you, tomorrow that person might drift away.
00:19 You say you have so much money today, the government might freeze your bank accounts
00:23 tomorrow.
00:24 Is that money really yours?
00:25 What's the point in then remaining dependent on anything that the world gives you?
00:30 Some ideology you are greatly invested in, tomorrow you might find that ideology falsified
00:35 or some concept, principle, dogma, anything you believe in, all those beliefs can be shattered
00:41 in one minute.
00:42 Therefore, Vedanta teaches you to live only in that which is timeless.
00:48 And the confidence that you get when you are not dependent on anything is unmatchable.
