00:00 A lot of research on the Gita, a lot of scholarship on the Gita has actually come from abroad.

00:11 Indians know Gita.

00:15 Arjun, yeah, yeah.

00:19 Arjun.

00:20 It is such a tragedy, so unfortunate it is, that we have all the trash and the gems we

00:31 had have been rather used by the foreigners.

00:38 Advait Vedanta, it is greatly respected abroad.

00:44 Bhagavad Gita, it is understood and read abroad.

00:49 We have university courses on the Gita, hardly in India.

00:57 They were wise enough to take the best out of your spiritual heritage and they took only

01:05 the best that was there.

01:09 All the trash was left for the Indians.

01:13 All the trash you just enjoy.

01:15 Jhaad phook, tona totka, that's for you.

01:21 Occult, flying snakes, that is for you.

01:27 The great philosophical jewels, the foreigners accepted them, respected them, learned them

01:37 and taught them.

01:40 Today if you talk of non-duality, non-duality is a much bigger thing, Advait, is a much

01:47 bigger thing in the US than in India.

01:53 It's a matter of great joy.

01:56 It's also a matter of great shame, is it not?

02:06 Attend to the valuable things in your heritage and keep the trash aside.

02:13 And believe me, there is a lot of trash in your spiritual heritage.

02:17 Let's be honest and acknowledge that.

02:21 Because if you not keep the trash aside, you will not be able to value and worship the

02:27 jewels.

02:28 Is it possible to worship both?

02:31 Please tell me.

02:34 Can you worship the dust and the gems alike?

02:41 In fact you want to polish the gem so that the dust can be cleared away.

02:52 Indians have chosen the dust, the West has been able to identify the gems.

03:00 All the nonsense in the name of religion, Indians have lapped up.

03:07 All the nonsense, all the riots, all rubbish, all superstition in the name of religion,

03:14 Indians are very happy with that.

03:16 All the great things in your spiritual heritage, all the wonderful philosophies, I am repeating,

03:24 the West has happily, smartly accepted that.

03:29 Thank you.
