00:00 In India, if you do not get a movie with songs,
00:03 you say, "I am disinterested," the movie would bomb.
00:05 In Hollywood, if you have a movie with songs,
00:08 that would raise eyebrows.
00:09 What's going on?
00:10 That's the nature of interest.
00:11 It is never something of the heart.
00:13 Love and interest are not the same thing.
00:16 Interest is something that is given to you
00:18 by your body, by your environment,
00:20 by random chance, by circumstances.
00:23 That's what the entire advertising industry is about.
00:26 They can make you feel interested in stuff
00:28 that is intrinsically worthless to you.
00:30 So of what value is this thing called interest?
00:34 We place so much premium upon this word interest.
00:37 Do what interests you, this, that.
00:39 Whereas it's wisdom to realize
00:41 that interest is the last thing that you should ever go after.
00:45 Figure out what you can love.
00:46 And you will never be able to transcend into love
00:50 if you remain stuck with interests.
