00:26Because that's what everybody was doing in India, especially on the hospital walls.
00:30That's how hygienic we were. Now you're not doing that, right?

00:39That which most people start practicing becomes the culture.

00:53That which leads to the truth of the Upanishad and Gita is good.
00:57That which you are just blindly practicing is bad.
