00:00
See, think of a really mad man.
00:02
Think of the kind of price he is prepared to pay for narcotic substances.
00:08
Just for a little cocaine, he is ready to pay a fortune.
00:11
That's what.
00:12
When somebody pays a lakh rupees for a few grams of cocaine,
00:16
or even lesser than that, then you say,
00:18
Oh, this person is mad. He is an addict, right?
00:20
Now, extend this example.
00:22
Is that not what all of us are doing on Amazon,
00:26
in our shopping malls, everywhere?
00:28
Now, cocaine is blatantly obvious.
00:31
It's declared as something harmful.
00:34
So, it does not require much mental effort
00:37
to see that this person is valuing the wrong thing.
00:40
He is spending money at a false place.
00:42
But think of what is happening, as I said,
00:44
on the online portals and in shopping malls.
00:46
Where is our money going?
00:48
What are we doing with our money?
00:49
Money is chasing all the wrong kind of things that do us no good.
00:54
Why?
00:55
Because we are living in a deluded, dreaming, dim-witted society.
00:59
That's what needs to change.
