00:02 The society comes from us and we are our bodies.

00:21 Where do their desires and opinions come from?
00:23 They come from the way your bodies are.
00:26 Just as everything about a bird comes from the way its body is, the real oppressor is

00:38 Do not take biological mandate as the purpose of your life.
00:42 Purpose of your life is to rise higher.
00:44 The purpose of your life is to realize your bondages one after the other, challenge them
00:49 and break them.
00:50 And the body is in itself a primary and a major bondage.
