00:00If you are suffering, do you really want to keep suffering?
00:03If you are in a bad situation, do you want to remain there?
00:06If you love yourself, you will say, I want to get out of this place.
00:09And if I want to get out of this place, I have to
00:12very independently, very neutrally, without prejudice
00:17understand what is going on.
00:19That is called detachment.
00:21To not to be prejudiced towards yourself.
00:24Know yourself rightly.
00:26With the faith that your potential is infinite.
00:29Irrespective of your infinite potential,
00:31if your current reality is of mediocrity, accept it.
00:34But accepting your current reality does not mean
00:38remaining limited to your reality.
00:40You should say, this is where I stand.
00:42However, I am not destined to stand here.
00:45Very frankly, very honestly, I accept
00:48I am standing at a very mediocre level.
00:50But this is not where I will perpetually stay.
00:53My destiny is elsewhere.
00:55I'll climb to the skies.
00:57I'll climb to the skies.
00:59I'll not say I'm already sitting up there.
