00:00I will only tell you that it's absolutely wonderful for me to talk to young people, young students
00:07and I say that because it is you to whom the world today and tomorrow really belongs
00:16and it is you who are going to save it from a lot of the damage that we
00:23older people who are now slowly on our way out have done.
00:29So I think hope and enthusiasm and the real saviours are sitting here
00:38and I see that here. So for me it's a very very important moment
00:44and I value this chance to interact with you.
01:58No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
02:28O.K.
02:29I really love you, I really love you.
02:34I love you so much.
03:09No, no, I won't get up now.
03:13A few words in which the children were afraid.
03:17The mother was dying.
03:19Words, what are words?
03:22Sound, in which they shake their meaning,
03:26which has no proof.
03:29They go their own way.
03:31They rise from the dead body and mind,
03:35they hold the opposite meaning of their meaning.
03:38The seed of the date was sown,
03:40the fruit was planted there.
03:42In their own struggle, in their own game.
03:46I won't get up now.
03:48Who was playing with fear and death?
03:51These words of Yantra,
03:52became tantric,
03:54and the mother was dying.
03:57But that was something else,
03:58or it happened.
04:00Will or aimless play.
04:03No, no, I won't get up now.
04:05I won't get up now.
04:07I won't get up now.
04:09I won't get up now.
04:12I won't get up now.
04:15I won't get up.
