00:00What do you think those Facebook faces are real?
00:03Why do you think people have to display their teeth so much?
00:06If one is really happy, it's an internal confirmation.
00:09You don't have to seek validity from everybody.
00:12Go to a weekend party and show me who is happy.
00:15And if people were indeed happy, why would they drink?
00:17They drink so that they can forget their miserable state.
00:21Who is being pleased in all this, please tell me.
00:24Nobody is happy here, please.
00:26Just scratch the surface and you will find.
00:29Stand at a crossing and watch.
00:31People are rushing to their offices. It's 9 am.
00:34Just look at their faces.
00:36Are they really in pleasure? Where is pleasure?
00:38Spirituality wants you to have true pleasure.
00:42To be spiritual is to go hunting madly, wildly for real pleasure.
00:48Unconditional, continuous, uncaused pleasure.
00:52That's joy.
