00:00If you don't want the mind to go bonkers playing with itself,
00:04then give it a task.
00:06And don't let the mind ever run out of tasks.
00:10The mind is just energy.
00:12You do not give it a purpose solemn enough,
00:16the energy will become destructive.
00:18Just keep the mind constructively involved with something proper and purposeful.
00:24And that will require honesty.
00:26We are lazy people, right?
00:28If the mind is to be given a proper purpose, the mind will work.
00:32But the limbs too will have to work.
00:34The mind cannot just work on its own without hands and eyes and nose and legs working.
00:40And we don't want that to happen.
00:42So we slouch on the couch, doing nothing.
00:44And only the mind is working.
00:46Give the mind a proper purpose.
00:48Let the entire body, your entire system, everything in your existence,
00:54be focused, be channelized towards the right purpose in life.
