00:00So think of a person being arrested when he is asleep.
00:04He cannot say no to his arrest.
00:07He cannot even say yes to his arrest.
00:09Think of a person being wedded while asleep.
00:13Can he say no to the wedding?
00:15Can he say yes to the marriage?
00:17That's how we are.
00:19To all the critical things, we are simply asleep.
00:22We say neither yes, neither no.
00:25We are indifferent.
00:27But in all the trivial matters, we very vigorously exercise our choices.
00:33This is my favorite airlines.
00:35I fly only Lufthansa.
00:36Oh, I don't like sugar in my tea.
00:39I'm very particular about that, you know.
00:41I dislike that.
00:42You have never said no to slavery.
00:46What's the point in saying no to sugar?
00:48Where the choice is really meaningful, there we are asleep.
00:53There we don't even see that a choice exists and needs to be made.
