00:00
In the office you are Mr. Nice. In front of the wife you are Mr. Submissive.
00:05
Then in the bar you will be the most raucous and unmanageable drinker.
00:11
Breaking bottles, throwing tantrums, inviting brawls.
00:16
The mind knows that it is suffering in one condition.
00:18
But it is not intelligent enough to know that the opposite condition is no better.
00:22
And even if it does know theoretically it cannot help it because the mind lives in dualities.
00:27
So if I do not like A, the only option that I have is to move to the opposite of A.
00:33
The mind does not have the option to move beyond A.
00:37
So sitting here it starts feeling suffocated. It jumps to this place.
00:42
Here again it feels equally suffocated. It again jumps to this and this and this.
00:46
This is what we call as life.
00:47
The option to sublimate, to rise beyond both A and B somehow does not come to the mind.
00:54
It is possible but it does not come so easily.
