1
00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:03.946
From my own experience
I can say this.

2
00:00:04.635 --> 00:00:08.008
That often we want

3
00:00:08.991 --> 00:00:13.999
our countries or certain situations
in which we are to change

4
00:00:14.360 --> 00:00:22.505
and we feel that we would
not able to offer this change

5
00:00:22.530 --> 00:00:25.335
or to produce this change.

6
00:00:27.363 --> 00:00:32.194
And I think it's because
we're not using

7
00:00:32.865 --> 00:00:35.963
the true capacity
we hold in ourselves.

8
00:00:36.184 --> 00:00:40.598
We are using only a small
part of this capacity.

9
00:00:40.991 --> 00:00:46.065
If I want now you know having
become a very grown up person

10
00:00:46.398 --> 00:00:51.127
to tell you what at that time,
I had not of course discovered

11
00:00:51.152 --> 00:00:55.276
I was experiencing but which
now you know I hold as a truth.

12
00:00:55.974 --> 00:01:00.823
We want to bring change to our
countries to the world

13
00:01:01.241 --> 00:01:05.018
but yet we are tied ourselves.

14
00:01:05.043 --> 00:01:10.760
We are tied by things which we
have done wrong in our life.

15
00:01:11.124 --> 00:01:17.190
It cannot, we can't do it
unless you tackle these things

16
00:01:17.215 --> 00:01:20.198
these wrong things which
you have done in the past.

17
00:01:20.223 --> 00:01:22.447
Even if they are very small

18
00:01:24.166 --> 00:01:32.000
if you tackle them
if you try to repair that

19
00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:38.975
then you are empowered
to do what you wish to do

20
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:40.850
deep down in your heart.

21
00:01:40.875 --> 00:01:48.281
So this is why I believe that
unless we go back to our own self,

22
00:01:48.306 --> 00:01:50.873
to our own life to our own past

23
00:01:51.014 --> 00:01:54.498
see when we have
been wronged truly.

24
00:01:54.802 --> 00:01:59.560
And this is why those criteria
I mentioned to you

25
00:02:00.258 --> 00:02:05.418
the person who proposed these
criteria he said absolute you know

26
00:02:05.443 --> 00:02:07.655
so that you don't cheat
with yourself.

27
00:02:07.753 --> 00:02:11.579
Not relative love,
not relative unselfishness,

28
00:02:11.604 --> 00:02:13.394
not relative honesty.

29
00:02:13.545 --> 00:02:15.166
So you don't cheat with yourself.

30
00:02:15.191 --> 00:02:19.558
So you really honestly see
you know all these things

31
00:02:19.687 --> 00:02:22.292
that needs to be repaired
in your life

32
00:02:22.542 --> 00:02:26.949
things where the others would
expect you know to do something

33
00:02:26.974 --> 00:02:31.541
to amend you know this wrong.

34
00:02:32.738 --> 00:02:36.720
I feel when one does this,
then he becomes free

35
00:02:36.745 --> 00:02:39.931
then he becomes
really free you know.

36
00:02:40.658 --> 00:02:44.259
And its with this freedom
that you can affect

37
00:02:45.656 --> 00:02:50.650
situations that are outside of you.

38
00:02:51.481 --> 00:02:57.815
So this is in a way
the philosophy of how

39
00:02:57.964 --> 00:03:00.590
changing oneself is necessary

40
00:03:00.615 --> 00:03:05.459
really if we want to be
used to change our countries

41
00:03:05.484 --> 00:03:07.875
our society and the world.

From my own experience I can say this. That often we want our countries or certain situations in which we are to change and we feel that we would not able to offer this change or to produce this change. And I think it's because we're not using the true capacity we hold in ourselves. We are using only a small part of this capacity. If I want now you know having become a very grown up person to tell you what at that time, I had not of course discovered I was experiencing but which now you know I hold as a truth. We want to bring change to our countries to the world but yet we are tied ourselves. We are tied by things which we have done wrong in our life. It cannot, we can't do it unless you tackle these things these wrong things which you have done in the past. Even if they are very small if you tackle them if you try to repair that then you are empowered to do what you wish to do deep down in your heart. So this is why I believe that unless we go back to our own self, to our own life to our own past see when we have been wronged truly. And this is why those criteria I mentioned to you the person who proposed these criteria he said absolute you know so that you don't cheat with yourself. Not relative love, not relative unselfishness, not relative honesty. So you don't cheat with yourself.

I feel when one does this, then he becomes free then he becomes really free you know. And its with this freedom that you can affect situations that are outside of you. So this is in a way the philosophy of how changing oneself is necessary really if we want to be used to change our countries our society and the world.
