00:00Sir, youngsters are spending 20-30% of their time on social media only.
00:05Why are you doing that?
00:06You are doing that because you don't have anything else to do, baba.
00:10That's all.
00:11If you have a purpose, if you know what you are doing,
00:14then it's alright wherever you spend your time.
00:16And you know what that implies?
00:18That if you don't know what your purpose is,
00:20then even if you are not with social media,
00:23you are still wasting your time.
00:24The fellow who wastes his time on Instagram
00:27is likely wasting his time even when he is not on Instagram.
00:31It's not just 20-30% that you are wasting,
00:33you are probably wasting 100%.
00:35Instagram and the addiction is just a symptom of a purposeless life.
00:40And that purpose cannot come from any external source.
00:43It has to come through self-observation.
00:45When you look at yourself, you know what to do.
