00:00 There comes decision nodes where the decision that we are making is actually conflicting
00:05 based on the duties, like should I act as a student here or should I act as a son here?
00:10 So how exactly do we prioritize this?
00:12 Your real duty is that which elevates, cleans, purifies your consciousness.
00:17 All else is trivia.
00:20 Doesn't matter whether you are a student or a son or this or that and all the identities
00:24 that you wear will impose certain responsibilities on you.
00:29 In fact, Shri Krishna says in the Gita that Kartavya or duty is only for those who really
00:36 do not know themselves.
00:39 Once you know yourself, then you need not be bound by duties because the instantaneous
00:45 duty becomes clear to you by itself.
00:49 You do not need then a commandment of do's and don'ts.
00:53 Do's and don'ts and rules and regulations are needed only because we do not have self-knowledge.
