00:00You have talked about your physical capacity and age.
00:03Look at a river or look at a tree.
00:05Both have life cycles.
00:07Once the tree was tender and young,
00:10there was a particular way it responded to the wind
00:12and now the tree is getting old.
00:15Now there is another way it responds to the wind.
00:18Both are beautiful.
00:19You don't have to emulate somebody else.
00:21You just have to avoid resisting the wind.
00:24Please get the difference.
00:26The older tree does not have to say that
00:28I must still be supple and flexible and dancing
00:33like the younger tree.
00:35It cannot do that.
00:36It's now physically incapable of doing that.
00:39It's grown old.
00:40There is a lot of bark.
00:41It's not as tender and as flexible anymore.
00:44If it tries to bend too much and dance around,
00:47probably it will break.
00:48But it can still love the wind and offer no resistance to it.
