00:00 The pleasures that you are having in life, are they taking you higher or are they making
00:05 you more of animals?
00:06 Now what's wrong with being an animal?
00:08 That's not your nature.
00:09 You will suffer.
00:10 Take an airplane up 35,000 feet.
00:13 It takes generations of engineering to put the plane up there.
00:17 What does it take for the plane to crash?
00:19 Nothing.
00:20 One drunk pilot and the plane is gone.
00:22 It's always easier to fall.
00:24 Marijuana, weed.
00:26 Do these turn you conscious?
00:27 No.
00:28 But they are pleasurable.
00:29 There is something happening.
00:30 There is something happening so you feel probably the right thing is happening.
00:33 At least I am no more in my current state because the current state is of suffering.
00:37 So some displacement has happened.
00:39 And you hope that the right moment is happening.
00:40 No, the right moment is not happening.
00:42 Most of the times the default movement is the wrong one.
00:45 The right movement you have to be very careful about.
00:48 It's a sensitive, delicate thing.
00:50 It has to be crafted.
00:52 It has to be engineered with all your intelligence and devotion.
00:56 The wrong thing is like free fall in gravity.
00:58 It just happens.
