00:00Is it necessary to renounce worldly pleasures in order to gain spiritual experience?
00:04No, but where are the pleasures? I do not see any pleasures. I do not see anybody being pleased.
00:10You are talking of renunciation of pleasures as if pleasures do exist. Where are pleasures?
00:16Go to a weekend party and show me who is happy. And if people were indeed happy, why would they drink?
00:22They drink so that they can forget their miserable state.
00:25Who is being pleased in all this? Please tell me.
00:28But, you know, we like to pamper ourselves. We flatter ourselves when we say,
00:33Oh, I am living a life of pleasures and spirituality will snatch away my pleasures.
00:40So, should I consider spirituality or not? What kind of bluster is this?
00:45Nobody is happy here. Please.
