00:00Go get drunk. Go fall in a brothel. And those lowly pleasures will be very easily available to you.
00:05There is pleasure in overeating and then falling asleep. Is there not pleasure in that?
00:10Most of our pleasures degrade us.
00:12Pleasure comes from both directions.
00:15You look at a great work of art, there is joy.
00:19With great application and discipline, you learn how to play the guitar or the sitar.
00:25There is joy in that.
00:27But that's an expensive joy we said.
00:29You get angry and you pick up the guitar and put it five times, bang it on the floor and it breaks.
00:35And for one minute there is great pleasure.
00:37Playing tennis, you play a great shot and then kiss your racket. There is joy.
00:41You play an awful shot and then hit the turf with your racket ten times and smash the racket itself.
00:48There too you have some pleasure.
00:50Playing a great shot requires discipline. It is expensive.
