00:00It doesn't matter whether you are rich or poor, achiever or non-achiever.
00:04There is nobody who is not pursuing stuff, the stuff that you call as need.
00:08Why do people fail to address even their basic physical needs even in this age of surplus?
00:17Is it because they don't have desires?
00:18No, it is because they have very misplaced desires.
00:23Somebody is desiring alcohol when he should be desiring something else.
00:27Desires are always there including the choice to go higher and be better, but you are unable
00:32to exercise that choice because some other stupid desire turns out to be dearer to you.
00:40Desirelessness is not when you do not have desire.
00:42Desirelessness is when you do not give desire the top position, when you do not put desire
00:48at the hem, when you do not make desire the master.
00:51That's called desirelessness.
