00:00Let nobody say that he or she is making the right choices in life because she does not know.
00:06We all know. We prefer to suppress the inner knowledge.
00:10It's an inner conspiracy against ourselves just because we want to continue enjoying certain privileges in life.
00:17Certain physical privileges, material privileges, monetary privileges.
00:21If you want to just test whether people are living in ignorance or self-deception, there is a simple test.
00:29Go and declare something to them that takes them towards the truth.
00:35The moment you show the mirror to people, the moment you want to bring the truth to people,
00:40they actually actively balk away. What does that tell?
00:45They knew very well in advance that they were living in the false.
00:51So ignorance is just an ugly ploy against oneself.
00:57Nobody is really ignorant.
