00:00The fellow in front of you is a teacher, but the body cannot stop looking at her as a sex object.
00:05When you're telling the body, she's not a sex object, she's my teacher.
00:08Body says, no, it's a great figure.
00:10The body has no respect for who you are.
00:14That's why I keep saying that the first tragedy is birth itself.
00:17You're not born alone.
00:19You're born welded to the body.
00:21The two of you are born together, and the two of you cannot go together.
00:24One of you has to prevail.
00:26Either you will live as the body, or the body will have to surrender to your power.
00:30You will have to display your might to the body.
00:33You will have to conquer the body.
00:35If you cannot conquer the body, the body will conquer you.
00:37So forget all your notions of divine harmony between mind, body, and soul.
00:42It's a war.
00:43And one and only one will win.
00:45Either you or the body.
