00:00Past cannot change. So, you go to the past again and again. There is comfort there. There is security there. In the present
00:06there is a risk. What is the risk? Something new can happen.
00:10Going to the past again and again is a symptom of deep fear. I am afraid.
00:16I am afraid of being in the now. I am afraid of all the newness and freshness that life offers.
00:22I want security. I want to live in a cage. You want to live your life in a way
00:28which has been lived by millions of other people, so that there is no risk.
00:34Everybody is living the same kind of life. I will also repeat it. There will be no risk, but there will be no life either.
00:41You will be like a furniture. No risk. No change. A plant can change.
00:46There will be a flower one day. Past is furniture.
00:50Present is plant.
