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?
00:11 There is no self.
00:13 Today people are liking you, tomorrow they may not.
00:15 Today somebody professes closeness to you, tomorrow that person might drift away.
00:20 You say you have so much money today, the government might freeze your bank accounts tomorrow.
00:25 Is that money really yours?
00:26 See, this is the nature of the world.
00:28 If you get too dependent on anything it offers, you have condemned yourself to slavery.
00:34 Vedanta teaches you to live only in that which is timeless.
00:39 That which no moment in time can take away from you.
