00:00When you say that you go to a workplace for a purpose, the purpose is never work, or is
00:05it?
00:06The purpose is the salary check.
00:09In fact, if work could be bypassed, and you could straight away reach the salary check,
00:13then who would want to work?
00:15Now, why work in such a place then?
00:18Why subject yourself to month-long torture so that you may get a check in the month end?
00:24Today is the 5th, but the mind is, when would the 30th arrive?
00:29Working without purpose means really working.
00:31Now, I'm not bothered about what would happen tomorrow.
00:34Nothing outside of the action is now determining the action.
00:37The action is its own purpose, and that is called purposelessness.
00:41Work itself is so beautiful and meaningful that I don't have to look forward to the 30th.
00:47Now nobody can threaten you.
00:48They may say, we will not pay you.
00:50You say, oh, oh, oh, do I receive a salary?
00:52I forgot that.
00:53I thought working was sufficient.
