00:00The only thing that I believe probably in is in the Karma and the doing.

00:03Sort of continue doing the Karma that you are supposed to do.

00:08Karma that you are supposed to do is conditioning.

00:10There is nothing that you are supposed to do. That's very anti-freedom.

00:14What do you mean by supposed to do? Nobody is supposed to do anything.

00:18That I am destined to do.

00:19There is nothing that you are destined to do.

00:21Only liberation is your destiny.

00:23I mean, that's a bit like the Varna Vyavastha.

00:26That I have been assigned a particular Karma and I am to do that all my life.

00:32You know, if I am born in a cobbler's family,

00:36or I come from an ironsmith's place, or I come from a trader's place,

00:41then that's what I'm supposed to do all my life.

00:43No, no, no, no, no such obligations. Not at all.

00:47Karma is action.

00:48The freedom of the actor decides the quality of the action.

00:52That's it.
