00:00Go to a weekend party and show me who is happy.
00:03And if people were indeed happy, why would they drink?
00:06They 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
00:15are just a confirmation of our internal state of wails and tears.
00:22To be spiritual is to go hunting madly, wildly for real pleasure
00:30and to differentiate the real thing from the fake one.
00:35A very different name is given, Anand.
00:38And that's not dependent on an intoxicant.
00:41That'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
00:51into going to bed with you.
00:53That's not dependent on how soon your neighbor loses his job
00:57so that you can be happy.
