00:00Why isn't that knowledge of power is the purpose of life?

00:03Why do we need to talk of purpose of life?

00:06Because we do not feel alright where we are, therefore we need to be somewhere else.

00:10If knowledge or power can give you fulfilment, by all means go for knowledge and power.

00:18Man has tried all kinds of possible means to come to a certain fulfilment,

00:22because there is a gaping hole within.

00:25We are not at rest, we are not alright.

00:28And that's why there is the question, what do we want?

00:33What is all this desire for?

00:35We are desiring all the time.

00:37Coming to the end of desire itself, that's what desire wants, right?

00:41Now, power or knowledge do not bring you to the end of desire,

00:46because after power you can want more power.
