00:00 Whenever someone insults me, I am not able to forgive them.
00:04 If you do not know who you are, you will be forced to believe in whatever others tell you about yourself.
00:10 And that's where from all these problems, someone comes and hurts me, offends me.
00:16 Someone comes and just inflates me by praising me.
00:19 Someone is able to motivate me.
00:21 Someone is able to demotivate me.
00:23 How do all these things happen? Because we do not know who we are.
00:26 So we rely totally, we depend totally on what others tell about ourselves.
00:32 We have become accustomed to crutches.
00:35 We do not even realize how big a slavery that is.
00:38 That's the reason why Advaita Vedanta keeps the question "Koham" - Who am I at the center.
