00:00Was it a particular moment for you, or a series of events that led to a, what, or did you

00:09feel a difference between before and after?

00:13I don't know.

00:14It's an old one.

00:15Very old to know.

00:16No, there has been no special event, no special event at all, no special moment.

00:29It is not a spectacular thing, it is not something that is fanciful or glorious or glamorous.

00:58It is simple and ordinary, like a naked child, there is the mother, you keep walking towards

01:07the mother, there is nothing spectacular about it.

01:14As a naked child, you are walking towards the mother, and you are coming closer and

01:19closer and closer, that's me.

01:27No glamour in any of this, no particular date, it's a continuous movement, taking baby steps.

01:35Do you like to receive appreciation for what you are doing?

01:46Yes.

01:47If that helps the other one receive more of it, not because appreciation means something

01:54to me, but if you appreciate me, there are chances that you will receive more of it.

02:00So I like it when you appreciate, fill that form nicely there, write good things, and

02:19when I say that, you will come back, it's nice.

02:48The identity never appreciates, the appreciation always comes from somewhere else, as an identity

02:57you will only appreciate another identity, if the appreciation is real, it comes only

03:04from the real within you.

03:08That brings up a question for me, because sometimes I feel no gratitude, but when I

03:15notice, I want to be feeling a lot of gratitude, so I try to really focus on it, you put efforts

03:23to excuse the no feeling.

03:25We all have done that, we all have done that, so often.

03:29I need to feel grateful, so I am all smiles and like, I need to feel grateful, gratitude

03:40is not a need, gratitude is not an obligation, gratitude arises, it arises in spite of your

03:50resistance, you are not obliged to feel grateful.

04:03Do you see the extent to which these role plays percolate in our life?

04:11I need to act like a lover, I need to act joyful, I need to act grateful, I need to

04:20act respectful.

04:21How is one to survive in the world without role play?

04:40The stage between trying to drop role play and happiness, that stage.

04:58This wonderment at the whole game makes it easier.

05:26You all have relationship only with God, you may be related to anybody, but why related

05:39to anybody?

05:41So that you get some joy, some peace, some fulfilment, and joy and peace and fulfilment

05:47are God.

05:48All relationships are for the sake of God.

06:03You may call it gratitude, you may call it commitment, you may call it honesty, but it

06:10is about being real, not being fake.

06:13Sometimes it can be so hard, sometimes in one mood I feel such a certain way, in another

06:24mood I think, and so when I reflect on that, I don't, it can feel so different.

06:30Figure out your dependencies, it is only when you are dependent that conflicting thoughts

06:38arise.

06:39If you are not dependent, then it is easy to stay firm with the obvious.
