00:00This is why so many epic tales, heroic tales of war and victory end with the death of the

00:06protagonist, the hero. The war is won, but the hero is gone. Oh, captain, my captain,

00:11the war you fought is won. And the poet says, but my captain does not listen. Here he lies

00:15cold and dead. The crowds on the shore are rejoicing, but the captain is dead. The captain

00:20had to be dead because the war is real. When the war is real, it will consume you. You must not

00:25be left alive at the end of the war. Otherwise, it's a disrespect to the war. You didn't offer

00:29it everything. The right war is the one that does not leave you with anything, probably

00:35not even with your life. That is why Kabir says that his warrior gets his head chopped off

00:40before he sets out to war. He has to begin rightly. So he says, there can be no greed. I am going

00:47there to give myself away. I'm not going there to get something. Chopping one's head off means

00:52chopping off the intention to get or accumulate.
