00:00Fear is something that is good for your physical survival.
00:03Fear is an evolutionary tool.
00:05Helps you live a longer life.
00:08But it is not good for your consciousness.
00:10What's the point in living a long life,
00:13if life is full of fear?
00:15Please tell me.
00:16What would you prefer?
00:17Living for a hundred years,
00:19all afraid and insecure, doubtful,
00:22shivering, or living for,
00:24like Bhagat Singh, only 23 years,
00:26but bravely, stoutly, like a man.
00:28What would you prefer?
00:29That's all. Because we are not animals.
00:31No animal ever prefers to be martyred.
00:34No animal would ever say,
00:36I want a short but meaningful life.
00:38For animals, body is everything.
00:40You are human beings precisely because
00:43for you, body is not everything.
00:44You can overrule your body.
00:46You can dictate your body.
00:47For you, body is just an instrument.
00:49You can use your body towards a higher purpose.
00:51That's why you are human beings.
