Transcript

00:00I stood 3rd in my class, class 4 or 5, and got bashed up at home, and then I rebelled.

00:08I said, this, my sister, she never even manages a single digit rank, but happily she carries

00:15her report card, comes in, throws it away, and starts rolling on the bed, and nobody

00:20utters a word to her.

00:22I burn the midnight oil, she keeps snoring.

00:25She comes 13th in her class, I came 3rd.

00:28She is still happy, I have been bashed up, this won't do.

00:32My mother said, you have done far worse than her, I couldn't really grasp, now I think

00:37I do.

00:38If you have potential, and you don't live up to it, life will offer you the harshest

00:45punishment, because you have failed in your one duty as a human being, to materialize

00:51your potential.

00:52That's your only dharma, your potential, the Upanishads call as Atma.

00:57You have it, and yet you do not have it.
