Transcript

00:00If somebody is prostrating in front of a deity, we'll say this one is a devotee.

00:05But a scientist, sincerely committed to the truth, experimenting in his land,

00:10will never say, no, this one is a real devotee.

00:12We talk of devotion as something exclusive to the temples.

00:16How is this that is happening here, not a religious act?

00:20Please tell me.

00:20How is this not meditation?

00:22How is this not devotion?

00:24At this moment, how is this place not a temple?

00:27Please tell me.

00:28But it does not occur to us.

00:30Sir, how can it be a temple?

00:32There is no deity.

00:33There is no tomb.

00:34We do not see the formal apparatus here.

00:37Learn to see what is not visible.

00:39If you'll see only that which is visible, you will never be able to see beauty.

00:43You'll only see cosmetics.

00:44You understand what is cosmetic?

00:46Made up.

00:46False.

00:47Only falseness is visible.

00:49The truth has to be seen with insight.
