00:00 Sir, like you were saying in most of your questions that collective efforts is required

00:06 when it comes to like eradicating the making the good institutions or eradicating corruption

00:12 or making climate change and all. So, like and also you said that when you are enlightened

00:19 you try to enlighten others like Buddha also believe in that. But in today's society how

00:24 have you ever experienced these things like I personally experienced like one of my friend

00:29 was driving and I asked him at the signal to please switch off your car and he says

00:34 don't worry I have enough money and I have filled my car tank full. So, and similarly

00:42 I give you one more example in my neighbor itself in a colony there is a family they

00:48 celebrate their child's birthday every month. Okay, and they say we are very excited and

00:54 see the problem is not that they are celebrating the child's birthday every month. The problem

01:00 is there that the child took birth in the first place. No birth, no birthday and that's

01:09 also numerically true. You see even putting your engine to idle won't help if there are

01:19 so many cars and if you keep giving birth you are giving birth to cars as well. Are

01:27 you not? Yes. The fact is that bigger than all our climate activism is the decision to

01:37 not to give birth. Not to give birth. There is data. Yeah, sir, my question was like when

01:47 you interact with these kind of people like I was saying so I outrightly advise him he

01:54 is a good friend of mine I said instead of celebrating your child's birthday every month

01:58 why don't you go and donate to some needy people. Okay, then what happens and similarly

02:04 like when I advise the person to switch off. It won't happen. Please see your advice is

02:09 bound. Grapes are angur khatte wali baat. It won't happen. See had he had that kind

02:17 of wisdom to go and donate to the right people why would he keep procreating in the first

02:26 place? So your advice will fall on deaf ears. So under this situation how we can enlighten

02:35 the collectively like I could not enlighten my friend my neighbor then how we will enlighten

02:40 people. Join me. Join me. I'm doing that. That's the best advice I can give. Join me.

02:48 I know no other way. Okay, my pleasure, sir. Nice interacting. Welcome.
