[00:00:02]Gautama the Buddha.

[00:00:05]He was just 21, 22 [music] years of age.

[00:00:08]He cannot even have the time to get up and convince his wife.

[00:00:13]>> [snorts] >> In the middle of the night, a prince leaves [music] like a thief.

[00:00:18]Once you realize the limitations in which you're existing, you'll be in great urgency.

[00:00:23]>> [music] >> The very basis of your bondage is in your likes and dislikes. Once you get into this trap of like and dislike, your intelligence is forsaken. If you just become free from this process of liking and disliking, life here and beyond is not a problem.

[00:00:43]You've gotten stuck with one personality. [music] It'll be so much fun for you to change that. Your personality, we must mold it every day because you can experience a whole new person all the time. Seven days there in Samyama, you'll just simply forget who you are. The situation created is so intense. [music] Don't ever believe that rich people have more ego. Ego is anywhere there.

[00:01:09]Whether you handle it sensibly or senselessly, that's the question.

[00:01:13]What we need to bring in the world is not egolessness. What we need to bring in the world [music] is just simple sense, life sense.

[00:01:24]There is something [music] within you which doesn't want to settle for just joyful life, either.

[00:01:30]There is something that this life is longing [music] for.

[00:01:37]It's not a desire.

[00:01:40]It's its destination.

[00:01:42]Transformation means nothing of the old should remain.

[00:01:46]Awareness is not something that you do.

[00:01:49]The less you do, the more aware you become.

[00:01:53]Within yourself.

[00:01:55]If you stop doing all your nonsense, you're spiritual.

[00:01:59]The essence of life is in its process.

[00:02:02]Where you got in the end is not the point really. First, become blissful.

[00:02:07]Then destination [music] will happen by itself.
