00:00 You leave the forest alone. You neither need to deforest nor reforest.

00:05 You leave it alone, it will take care of itself.

00:07 Your reforestation, mind these words, is probably as bad as your deforestation.

00:13 Or maybe even worse.

00:15 When you are such a drunkard in the internal sense, your consciousness is totally deluded.

00:22 Do you even know the right meaning of help or redressal of a grievance?

00:28 Do you really know what the forest needs?

00:30 A fundamental question, have you ever known what you really need?

00:34 Do you know what you need in life? Then how do you know what the forest needs?

00:38 But the ego and its arrogance, no limits.

00:41 So you say, I do not know my own needs, but I know what the forest needs, so I'll go and reforest.

00:46 Your reforestation might actually be worse than your deforestation.

00:51 Why can't you just keep your hands away, hands off?

00:55 That's what is needed.

00:56 But that's something we cannot tolerate to live with.
