00:00Delay commitment as much as you can.

00:03Do not say, now I have committed my life to this religious persuasion.

00:08Don't say, now I have committed to this person that I will belong to him or her my entire life.

00:15None of that.

00:17If you want to be devoted to the truth, avoid devotions of other kinds.

00:23Remain experimental.

00:25Keep on looking.

00:26Keep on seeing what all life has to offer you.

00:29The person who is committed to the truth cannot be committed to anything in the world very easily.

00:35Because nothing in the world is what you are really looking for.

00:39No object, no thought, no ideology, no person, no position in the world is what you are really looking for.

00:47So if you commit yourself to something, if you tie yourself down in obligations, then that is just bondage and slavery.
