00:00Reflection or stock keeping has to be spontaneous.

00:05It has to be something concurrent.

00:07Your life has to be such that it forces you to be spontaneously reflective.

00:14Only when your life is bad, you will not be spontaneously reflective.

00:19Then you will want exclusive time for reflection, like people want spare weekends.

00:24But the moment you want exclusively devoted time for reflection,

00:28you have already proven to yourself that you are leading a bad life.

00:32Lead a life that forces you to be spontaneously reflective.

00:36That must be the kind of work you pick up, the relationships that you make.

00:41They should not allow you to stay unconscious.

00:44If you stay unconscious, you should receive a jolt and reflection has happened.

00:48Why must you reflect after 24 hours?

00:50If you are falling asleep, then the reality check, the reminder should come immediately.

00:57Or do you want to waste the entire day and then reflect in the night and conclude that the day was wasted?

01:03So when must you be reflective? Continuously.

01:06And that's the mark of the right life.

01:09It forces you to be continuously reflective.

01:12It demands attention from you.

01:14If you do not give attention, then that life will be spoiled.
