00:00If you are someone who has been following somebody
00:02outside of you, some other person, ask yourself
00:06with great discipline, without any attachment, without
00:08any emotion. What am I getting there? What am I learning there?
00:11Is my life changing? Are my doubts vanishing?
00:15Am I stronger? Am I more fearless now?
00:18These are the questions to be asked. And these questions have to be asked
00:21very dispassionately, very objectively. Are you getting it?
00:24This is in case you are following somebody
00:27outside of yourself. It could be a person, a book,
00:30a line of thought, ideology, anything.
00:33And if you are someone who prefers to follow himself
00:36or herself, the same questions have to be asked.
00:39How good a teacher or guide have I been to myself?
00:42Have I been really of any use to myself? Yes.
00:46Very rigorously, very rigorously.
00:48Don't play favorites. Don't be biased. Getting it?
