00:00The most beautiful life is like a symphony, unending symphony.
00:04Think of a dancer, think of the various steps she takes.
00:07The hands are moving, even the eyes are moving in a particularly graceful way.
00:12Even the hair, they are moving.
00:14And that's adding something to the dance, the clothes, the feet, the entire body.
00:19But all that comes together without division as one holistic beauty.
00:25So look at your own various movements.
00:28Is there a core to them?
00:30Is there a root to them?
00:31Is there a centrality to them?
00:33When a dancer is dancing, the way her arms move and the way her legs move, they are in
00:39tandem.
00:40They are in unison.
00:41There are two aspects of the one central thing.
00:45But look at most multitaskers.
00:47This way they say is their professional life, the boss.
00:50This way they say is their personal life, the wife, the mother, the kids, all the rest
00:54of it.
00:55And there is just no unity.
00:57There is nothing that connects, harmonizes.
