00:00Somebody comes and criticizes you.
00:02He is showing you a mirror if that is what is happening.
00:05Then that criticism has to be listened to even a thousand times.
00:09Even that fellow hurts you very deeply and again and again.
00:13He still has to be given access in your ears repeatedly.
00:18So it's not that you shut someone out because he is hurtful.
00:22You stop listening to people who are unworthy.
00:25And who is an unworthy person?
00:27Who is not bringing the truth to you.
00:29Who is either dumping lavish but undeserved praise on you.
00:34There are such people.
00:36Keep praising people without a reason.
00:38And earn some favors in return.
00:40They are not reflecting to you your reality.
00:43Where you really stand, what you are really doing.
00:45They are not holding a mirror to you.
00:47So then you are justified to block them, to not listen to them.
00:51Or even if you have to listen to them, you give them a low priority.
