Transcript
00:00Everything is a choice. To be alive is to be responsible for choosing every moment.
00:06You cannot give up that responsibility. And those who do not take that responsibility, they become slaves.
00:11Slaves don't have choices. In fact, that's the very definition of slavery.
00:15You will not have choice anymore. Now you're a slave.
00:17Can it be called love?
00:18Of course. How else will you choose? If you choose in compulsion, that is no choice at all.
00:24So the only right basis of choice has to be love.
00:28But you cannot love without understanding. So even before love comes understanding then.
00:33If you love without understanding, then that's just basic animalistic attraction.
00:38Even animals are attracted. But human beings love.
00:41And to love is to first of all understand. So understanding has to be the basis of choice.
00:45And that requires constant attention. You have to be present. From that comes choice.
