00:00We live in fancies. In relationship, that's a major problem.
00:03Once you are related to someone, you totally lose sight of their reality.
00:07It doesn't matter whether you are attached to a son, a daughter, father, mother, friend,
00:14or a husband, or a wife, or a lover, doesn't matter. Or a dog, doesn't matter.
00:18We totally lose sight of the kind of person the chap is. What exists is the relationship.
00:27The person disappears from the inner radar.
00:30We just never evaluate what kind of persons are we related to.
00:36And losing sight reminds me of Dhritarashtra. His blindness is not just symbolic.
00:42Being attached to Duryodhana, he totally lost sight of the facts of Duryodhana.
00:47Totally. Just lost it.
00:49We simply say, oh, but he's my father.
00:51Hello. That's okay. That's okay. We acknowledge that.
00:54But can we evaluate the person he is objectively?
