00:00It sounds so melodious when somebody says spontaneously, let the body fall if it has
00:07to.
00:08I'll do what I have to.
00:09You see, it's not just about facing bullets.
00:11It's also about facing rejection and poverty and what not.
00:15Let's say you want to start something great as a business venture.
00:18What stops you?
00:19I'll tell you what stops you is the fear of failure.
00:21And if you go into this fear of failure, you will ultimately find that it is the body that
00:26you are afraid of.
00:27What will happen to this body?
00:29What if I'm pushed to the streets?
00:30So ultimately the war is against the body.
00:33Therefore it is the body that you must put in its place when it comes to the body.
00:37When it comes to the body, the Gita says, tolerate, no point raising a big hue and cry.
00:44Tolerate.
00:45And when it comes to the right action, the Gita says, fight.
00:47Your job is to fight.
00:48And in the process of fighting, bear what you have to.
00:51Lord, you see the metal that a boss is made of, tolerate and fight.
