00:00 A temple must be a place where great ideas are discussed.

00:06 A temple must be a place of conversation and healthy debate.

00:14 Great scholars from all directions and dimensions must converge in the temple.

00:20 When people go to a temple, they must return enriched.

00:27 You are able to listen to a profound lecture or to an animated debate.

00:43 You come to know of things that you otherwise do not know.

00:47 Economics is being discussed.

00:48 Geopolitics is being discussed.

00:53 The recent cutting edge and great advancement in physics are being discussed.

01:00 There are physicists, there are medical researchers, there are geologists, there are cosmologists

01:07 and they all are present in the temple.

01:10 That's what a temple must really be like and obviously when I say all that, the foundation

01:16 of the temple has to be mystical.

01:20 I am only talking of those things that are currently missing in temples.

01:26 I must correct myself, actually mystics too are missing in temples.

01:29 So I must talk of them as well.

01:33 So when consciousness is raised, only then it becomes capable of transcending into the

01:42 mystical dimension.

01:46 Consciousness under the burden of gravitation with all its shackles cannot fly away, cannot

01:54 gain freedom from the worldly entanglements.

01:59 First of all, it must gain clarity with respect to the world.

02:05 When there is clarity and knowledge with respect to the world, only then there is a possibility

02:09 of going beyond the world.

02:11 So temple must first of all be a place of knowledge, then a place of learning and then

02:18 a place of mysticism.

02:22 It has to be a composite thing.

02:28 One day God willing, we will come up with such a temple.

02:33 Let's see.

02:40 How would it be to find a lab of nuclear physics in one side, in one quarter and an aggregation

02:54 of the world's best dancers on the other side, both in the same campus.

03:01 How would it be?

03:07 Live long everybody to see that day.

03:13 I hope I also live long enough to see that day.

03:17 Thank you.
