00:05they exploit the mules, the donkeys there and they go and then they

00:10do all kinds of stupidities and they return. That's not going to help. There are a few temples

00:15I have a special relationship with and it breaks my heart

00:19to visit them when there is a crowd. It becomes a bit like an intimate love affair.

00:33So, when you go to

00:36a sacred place, meet that place with

00:39your own sacredness. Don't let it be a dead ritual, right?
