00:00Some people say, if I keep this stone and they get some good vibe, good aura from that particular stone or any object.
00:08A stone can affect you only if you first of all already believe that it is going to affect you.
00:15So it is not the stone that is having an effect on you, it is your belief that is having an effect on you.
00:20There is nothing special in the thing. There is nothing special in any kind of stone or Rudraksha or anything. No.
00:26But if you feel affected, it is because you have been strongly conditioned to believe that way.
00:31And there are a lot of people who have vested interests in conditioning you.
00:35In making you believe that a certain crystal or stone will have a beneficial effect on your life.
00:42Or if you wear a certain bracelet, then your life will improve.
00:46If you have interest or stake, some kind of benefit you are drawing from propagating misbelief and superstition,
00:54then nothing stops you from turning an entire population superstitious.
