00:00The pleasures that you are having in life, are they taking you higher, or are they making you more of animals?
00:06Now what's wrong with being an animal?
00:08That's not your nature. You will suffer.
00:10Take an airplane up 35,000 feet.
00:12It takes generations of engineering to put the plane up there.
00:17What does it take for the plane to crash?
00:19Nothing.
00:20One drunk pilot and the plane is gone.
00:22It's always easier to fall.
00:24Marijuana, weed.
00:25Do these turn you conscious?
00:27No, but they are pleasurable.
00:28Because there is something happening.
00:30There is something happening, so you feel probably the right thing is happening.
00:33At least I am no more in my current state, because the current state is of suffering.
00:36So some displacement has happened.
00:38And you hope that the right moment is happening.
00:40No, the right moment is not happening.
00:42Most of the times, the default movement is the wrong one.
00:45The right movement, you have to be very careful about.
00:48It's a sensitive, delicate thing.
00:50It has to be crafted.
00:51It has to be engineered with all your intelligence and devotion.
00:56The wrong thing is like free fall in gravity.
00:58It just happens.
