00:00
If we remain monkeys within, whatsoever comes to us, powers, rights, knowledge, technology,
00:07
we will use it to our own detriment, our own destruction.
00:11
But we don't understand this.
00:13
We think just because we have something, it is for the better.
00:16
No, not necessarily.
00:17
It all depends on who you are.
00:20
And that's the central Vedantic question.
00:22
Who are you?
00:23
You go back to the epics.
00:24
You think of all the classical villains.
00:26
Ravan, Kansa, Duryodhan, Hirana Kashyap.
00:30
They had a lot.
00:31
Ravan was the superpower of his times.
00:34
Lanka of gold.
00:35
Hirana Kashyap too had a lot.
00:37
He had been gifted with blessings.
00:40
Duryodhan was so powerful.
00:41
Question is, what were these people using their power and knowledge and money for?
00:46
Were they villains because they didn't have anything?
00:50
Because they didn't have much?
00:52
No.
00:52
They had a lot but were operating whatever they had from a bad center.
