00:00
I am trapped in my addictions. Can you help me with this?
00:03
Those things you are addicted to exist because you have nothing better in your life.
00:10
No point just cursing one's addictions.
00:13
Addictions exist to fill a deep inner void.
00:18
You have a need to be addicted and that's why those things exist.
00:22
You need to go to those things because there is a crying hollow.
00:26
Unless you bring something higher into your life to fill that hollow,
00:31
those videos and other things will continue to exist.
00:35
Irrespective of how much we beat our chest over them.
00:39
Set your mind upon something good, high, noble.
00:43
And then you will find that you have no time for all the petty things that surround you
00:49
and can potentially attract your attention.
00:51
Your attention will then be super focused.
00:54
You know what is important and you don't want to look at other things.
00:57
And if sometimes mistakenly you happen to look at other things,
01:00
you realize that a lot of damage has been done.
01:03
And you are taught a lesson and next time you don't repeat your mistake.
01:07
What you call as distractions are very intimately related to purposelessness.
01:12
You cannot be distracted without being purposeless.
01:15
Have a solid purpose in life and fall in love with it.
01:19
And all these distractions will vaporize into thin air.
01:23
But if nobody wants to touch yourtense with this thing,
01:28
I hope that they are einerop我想sforieder.
01:32
It's really peripheral.
