00:00See, think of a really mad man.
00:02Think of the kind of price he is prepared to pay for narcotic substances.
00:08Just for a little cocaine, he is ready to pay a fortune.
00:11That's what.
00:12When somebody pays a lakh rupees for a few grams of cocaine,
00:16or even lesser than that, then you say,
00:18Oh, this person is mad. He is an addict, right?
00:20Now, extend this example.
00:22Is that not what all of us are doing on Amazon,
00:26in our shopping malls, everywhere?
00:28Now, cocaine is blatantly obvious.
00:31It's declared as something harmful.
00:34So, it does not require much mental effort
00:37to see that this person is valuing the wrong thing.
00:40He is spending money at a false place.
00:42But think of what is happening, as I said,
00:44on the online portals and in shopping malls.
00:46Where is our money going?
00:48What are we doing with our money?
00:49Money is chasing all the wrong kind of things that do us no good.
00:54Why?
00:55Because we are living in a deluded, dreaming, dim-witted society.
00:59That's what needs to change.
