00:00Pranam Acharya ji, so sir my question is that when I am seeing doing something like telling
00:09people like what is correct or what is not correct I am seeing that you know deep down
00:15there is desire within me like an ego tendency that's not very like promoting veganism or
00:26kind of something so when I am saying to my parents don't eat milk products okay so it's
00:31not about that don't eat milk products I am I just want to gain a kind of respect in the
00:38eyes of my parents so what I am seeing it is so there is a deep ego tendency within
00:42me so when I am seeing that I am seeing that I am such a worthless person so why should
00:48I promote the service of truth and all that like I am not worth of it I have this kind
00:53of feeling when I am doing these things why should you serve the truth when you are a
01:00worthless person you should serve the truth exactly because you are a worthless person
01:12how else will you become worthy one becomes worthy by committing to the right thing what
01:29else is the definition of worth value value is always in context of the evaluator right
01:41a thing holds value to you when that thing can raise your consciousness elevation of
01:57consciousness is the only real value addition all else is just accessories right and only
02:15the pursuit of truth can elevate your consciousness so if you feel that inwardly
02:24you are at some lowly point then it becomes even more important for you to chase the truth what
02:37does it mean to chase the truth is the truth hidden somewhere some kind of treasure heard
02:41or something what do we mean by chasing the truth identifying the false and having the
02:50courage to drop it chasing the truth is not like a treasure hunt it's not like chasing a job or
03:00money or something else right remember Vedant proceeds through neti neti through negation so
03:17chasing the truth means not chasing the false identify what is false in your life what is
03:24deceptive in your life and then like a man drop it what is the definition of falseness
03:35that which is not what it appears to be is false that which is not what it appears to
03:48be is false does falseness lie in the thing I think this is a rocket launcher and then
04:02you come and convince me that this is just a humble pen so I should went my rage on the pen
04:12and destroy it because the pen was false and fooled me does falseness lie in the thing in
04:24the object that you perceive I thought this is a rocket launcher who should be destroyed this this
04:34the desire driven perceiver I am fond of space travel so even a pen appears like a rocket or
04:52something are you getting it my desire is skewing my vision totally distorting it anything that I
05:11see is just not what I take it to be things are not to be blamed so when we say chase the truth
05:23we mean identify the false and drop it what is to be dropped the one within that just cannot see
05:34the reality of things see how we are our own enemy see how we create castles out of thin
05:48air and when they collapse we curse the world most of the castles we build in life have no
06:00foundation at all any wonder they collapse but we are so fond of castles we just build them
06:13if I can't have it I can imagine it I want a divine fairy in my life so do I do what do I
06:29do I close in on the next door girl and declare her to be the divine fairy and then I'll say
06:42beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and love is blind and such things if I can't have what I
06:51want I'll imagine it that's my state that's called dishonesty that's what is falseness that's
07:00what needs to be dropped the girl next door might actually be a nice human being but she is in no
07:11way the fairy of your dreams however if you can drop the fairy obsession you might get a decent
07:19friend in her are you getting it dropping the false is not about playing morally superior and
07:36breaking up with all and sundry saying I'm on a mission to drop the false after all I'm a spiritual
07:46person AP told me to drop all falseness so I'm dropping my mother my scooter my hand my pen you
08:03know I'm gonna dropping spree everything has to be dropped drop everything but just do not drop
08:14the dropper nice no things are just things people are just people they are not the meanings that you
08:30assign to them and remember the meanings that you assign to them hardly arise from those things of
08:36people or objects the meanings arise from your own desirous state and when desires are not fulfilled
08:46who do we blame the objects but the object never really promised on its own that it's the thing
08:59that you want you kept telling the object you are my fairy in fact the object was always a bit
09:11puzzled fairy me really but then she accepted and fine I mean it's like a gift in love and sounds
09:24nice no fairy after a while in her own eyes she became the fairy inquire inquire drop drop drop
09:49not the things in your life but your perception of them just as there is nothing worthy of being
10:04attached to equally and obviously there is nothing that deserves your hatred and it's
10:15obvious that attachment and hatred are close cousins you don't have to be attached to anything
10:29equally you don't have to despise anything just know what that thing really is and then there is
10:38the right state of living you can even call it love I getting it now don't go home and start
10:50quarreling with your parents mind Papa are false they are people no object is false an object is
11:01just an object know them for what they really are and then you will be unable to hate or despise
11:11just as you will be unable to be to be attached attachment will drop and so will aversion
