00:00 If someone comes and says a few abusive or coarse words to you, you feel hurt, you say

00:06 the fellow disrespected me.

00:08 But this disrespect is nothing compared to the disrespect that we heap on ourselves by

00:14 remaining ignorant of ourselves all life long.

00:17 You live for 80 years without ever thinking deeply about yourself, your life, your relationships,

00:24 your dreams, your hopes, your regrets, your suffering, your phobias.

00:28 You never think about these things and you live for an entire 80 years and then you die.

00:33 That's the deepest disrespect towards the self, to not to know oneself.

00:39 And this disrespect towards the self is also called as ego.

00:43 Ego is another name for self-illusion.

00:46 I do not know who I am, yet I keep saying I am.

00:49 That's the ego and that's disrespect.
