00:00You're not supposed to fight fear. When fear arises, let it be.
00:04Fear is there, ignore it.
00:07What do you rather focus your attention on and attend to?
00:11Let fear be there, you do what you must.
00:14Let jealousy be there, you do what you must.
00:17Let fatigue and tiredness be there, you do what you must.
00:20Let hunger be there, you do what you must.
00:23Let thirst be there, you do what you must.
00:25That's what makes you a human being.
00:27Or will you succumb to hunger and thirst and fear and greed and insecurity?
00:31Will you?
00:32You don't need willpower or motivation.
00:34You need the wisdom to ignore these things.
00:38And mind you, all your life, there would be a little bit of these things
00:43that will always remain because they are there in the DNA.
00:47They are there in the evolutionary past.
00:49Jealousy will never 100% absolutely go away.
00:53Some jealousy will remain.
00:55What do you do with it?
00:56What do you do with it?
00:57Ignore and do the right thing.
