00:00Go to a weekend party and show me who is happy and if people were indeed happy, why would they drink?
00:05They drink so that they can forget their miserable state.
00:09Who is being pleased in all this? Please tell me.
00:12All these things that we do to get pleased are just a confirmation of our internal state of wails and tears.
00:23To be spiritual is to go hunting madly, wildly for real pleasure and to differentiate the real
00:32thing from the fake one. A very different name is given, Anand, and that's not dependent on
00:39an intoxicant. That's not dependent on when Amazon would put up its next discount fest.
00:46That's not dependent on how quickly you can dupe your girlfriend into going to bed with you.
00:53That's not dependent on how soon your neighbor loses his job so that you can be happy.
