00:00 You cannot change the society. You just save your own life first of all.
00:03 Then you have to display to the society how beautiful and joyful and truly successful
00:09 you are with the choices that you have made. And when people in the society will look at
00:13 the beauty in your life, the joy in your being, then they'll be inspired to come to you and ask
00:18 you, "How did you manage this?" And then you can tell them, "The secret is consciousness.
00:22 I avoided conditioned behavior. I avoided doing something because culture dictates that.
00:29 So I went neither by conditioning nor by culture. I went by consciousness."
00:33 But that you can tell to others only when you can first of all become an example in your own right.
00:38 So first thing is you should try to carve out a beautiful inner self. There is just so much
00:45 nonsense inside all of us. Each of us is born with a tendency to accumulate garbage.
00:51 And that has to be very carefully and purposefully wiped out or chiseled out.
00:56 and then there is this beauty that radiates.
