There's no horse for me to question any more, but I just want to thank you for your company.
0:11
Thank you. Oh, hi my apologies. So if the desire to be I guess I'm trying to approach the desire to be legit by trying to figure out what I want. Right, but I guess I want to want to be a legend or if I was hoping if it's a desire, isn't there. I don't know.
0:36
As I'm asking this question, I realized, like, I don't know what I'm asking.
0:41
Well, if one wants to want that the very fact that one wants to want raised the possibility that the very fact that he wants to want may result in him and actually wanting as opposed to someone who doesn't even want to want, or doesn't even know that they don't want. So, you know, what becomes of that? I don't know for a given individual, but the very fact that that's there, that one even wants to watch.
1:04
Want what? You know, raises the
1:06
possibility.
1:08
Okay.
1:16
I saw and reading your words a possibility as awoken in made that you want to play golf on a professional level, become a world-class golfer. However, my time at the moment isn't there. So I guess my question is what awakens the Mind towards skill access that I believe that I have innately without any mechanics or anything like that. I just believe and no not believe I know. I haven't.
1:44
AJ, we're all kind of Desire.
1:48
Then one will pursue to whatever depth they must pursue to make what they genuinely desire to make it happen.
2:01
I've been thinking about, and sort of examining the extent to, which I've been damaged by Society in school. And I feel that I am certainly lost. Some of the Innocence and Purity that I had a child, but not all of it. So, like by reading your articles, your discourses. I have seen changes that would not have happened by our do this, and I do that. So,
2:32
In order to my question is in order to become a legend in order to approach my heart from the standpoint of Truth is exposure to truth the most effective path to grow to grow the seed of innocent Surfer purity.
2:51
It is what an effective path,
2:53
exposure to the truth. Like the
2:56
quality only. It's the ultimate. It's the only way because if you're not exposed the truth how will, you know the truth,
3:03
but so that
3:04
that is all about, it's all about truth, right?
3:10
You don't expose the truth. Then you only exposed to society in the world when it was ID in the world, all lies. That means by definition, you're only exposed to lies and that doesn't lead anywhere. When we talk about conditioning, and what we are now is what made us is conditioning, but when we talk about prescriptions,
3:39
And you are very strong about that the culprit,
3:45
but
3:46
prescription can't reverse it. I can understand what if conditioning has made us. What we are. Why not positive conditioning can make us what we want
3:56
to be.
3:59
Go ahead. Try it. See what results? You don't believe me.
4:08
So it's kind of like the last question someone else asked if they want to want to have the desire. Is that possible?
4:16
And I want to know what actually needs to happen for
4:19
that desire to happen if they do want that to happen? Because I know it's, is it through understanding
4:23
or I don't know, that's what I want to know how I feel.
4:28
There's a desire for a desire and that there's a possibility. It's all I can say we and what? What? What fruit that will bear, where it goes for a given person. There's no way I can say, but I can't say that there was a desire for something. Even if that desire for something that doesn't exist. But the desire for it to exist does exist, then there's a possibility because the desires of exist type of wood and I know he got connected to qualitative.
4:58
Very, very young age and that seed, you know, maybe was contributed to him being a legend and I don't sense it in my work and I find myself drifting into these tenants of passion and, you know, searching for different different kinds of work. So so what is that connection?
5:19
I don't know what you mean by what is the connection? So like, there's no, there's no behavioral element. It doesn't matter. I mean, many people were introduced to sports at a young age. Do they become Legends? No, so there's no Behavior. There's no, if you do this, then you'll become more.
5:37
All right.
5:41
Are you said no, come no, come on. Don't don't don't do that. You're in the wrong space. You need to go to like the Huffington Post or Google some five ways to be happy craft. That doesn't work here.
5:54
By the way, I love you again. The Huffington Post. It's just the someone who wants three ways to become their certified ways to become that. The Huffington Post is very prolific in publishing list posts for five ways to do this, in three ways to do this. And that's what this, that's what they questioned and wanted. Therefore. They will perhaps find what they seek in Outlets such as that. I don't think personally against them, just answering the question that
6:23
Looking for that. That's the kind of outlets that they can find people who publish lists posts. That's where they can find. That's where that person can find three ways to do this or five ways to do whatever they are looking for, but there's nothing in my domain that would satisfy that kind of question.
6:44
Nothing at all against constant in
6:45
post.
6:50
Dr. Gupta, I don't know if you heard the beginning of my question. My mic was off, apparently, but my question is, when I have a Pursuit and it involves someone else and they become unreliable. There's a Compassion or there's a guilt that arises Within Me.
7:18
That I don't understand. If it's just
7:20
inherent, I have to say. I have to stay on topic though.
7:25
We're seeking to be a Legend. So my Pursuit I want to be good at it. I want to prove to be effective and engaged in productive and when other people
7:47
Employ or use other people toward that end and they don't come through. It makes me wonder what, what am I after am I after helping people, or am I after? So, is there something inherent to working with other people? That's just always going to be
8:10
careful. Now, number one. What are you after? I mean, that's a fair question for yourself. I can't tell you what your after number two, whenever you work with.
8:17
People, there is largely nothing but ineffectiveness, and unreliability and essentially will usurp the individuals resources. But if one is doing something like building a company, in which they need employees or whatever it is, what it is, you know, and if that's what they want to do, despite that, then then
8:47
They have to be okay with the downsides that that come with that but the expectation of reliability and dependency and Effectiveness from those who want employees is really. It's impractical. And, you know, does that mean that they cannot find those who are more reliable than no. Absolutely a good day. They can. There's a, there's a, there's a scale. There's a, a gradation.
9:18
How long you know for various degrees of reliability and so one must do whatever they can to get the most reliable person, but the expectation, if one is devoted to something that they're going to hire people who are equally devoted or anything close to that. It's very unrealistic and if it happens to happen, it happens, but but any, any expectation of that is simply not going to work and that's why the ultimate the ultimate way to do things is alone.
9:47
Because then there's no element of reliability and dependent dependency upon other people, but having said that I fully realized that some Pursuits. Do, you know one can't do everything themselves and in a company and so there is that necessary evil, so to speak.
10:06
Thank you.
10:12
My question is what is
10:14
a through about thought? Manifesting
10:17
itself means is is Law of Attraction. A true thing or is
10:22
there anything like that or it is another scam of the society were tearing through the Border.
10:28
Thank you.
10:30
I will be best for you to pursue that yourself and find your own answer. If I tell you it's a scam and you believe that it could be true. Then you're robbing yourself of the opportunity.
10:39
Atia
10:39
finding out.
10:41
I'm already well.
10:45
Couple.
10:48
my question
10:49
is,
10:51
What, as a parent I can do to foster a legend in a
10:55
child, if it is possible.
10:59
Posture it in yourself.
11:02
Hi Kappa. Thanks for taking my question, and thank you for the space. My question is really around where to spontaneity come in. I feel like my life. I've been in my mind, trying to mentally image, and, and Achieve, and set goals, and through listening to, and reading and searching in myself. Just trying to understand.
11:30
Where natural inclination comes from from inside versus Maybe.
11:40
Well, I think your trouble is that you're reading too many books. Sure. I mean, you're a bigger, you're a victim of a culture in goal setting and things that you've mentioned. They they smack strongly of one who has read a bunch of performance and motivational books.
12:01
Yeah, and I, that's what I'm actually getting getting rid of and realizing that. But I've just been in taking the my mind. So thank you. I'll chew on them.
12:14
/ purpose. / identity has anything to do with no emotional agent. Hello, Captain. Hello,
12:23
everyone.
12:27
I would like to know like how exactly to delete it distraction as it really becomes a literally eminent part of life. I could feel
12:40
I wanted to ask if
12:43
If thought limits
12:47
the possible, incisiveness of the question, that one asks of his craft, from what
12:53
else
12:55
from what other substrate do do these questions is well, it doesn't matter because that that's that's all you have right now. It doesn't really matter. What else?
13:05
Hi, I'm going to place right now. I like can't sleep. Right? Like my mind is just closely. When I was home asleep. I will examine. I'm scratching like I'm been like
13:15
a look. Like five months now
13:17
is your work. Be useful for someone like this or am I wasting my time?
13:24
I recommend my work to no one.
13:27
Kapil. I wonder what is your view on the team sport like soccer? Because
13:33
when I was young, I was basically forced by Mom.
13:38
But was it worried after question?
13:42
Don't raise your hand.
13:51
Hi doctor, gotta thank you for the space. I receive your private discourses and since reading your work. I've turned my attention and desire from outwardly success towards understanding and exploring my mind. My question for you is is this deep desire to understand and potentially free oneself from the
14:20
mind.
14:21
Is that also from coming from the mind or somewhere else?
14:27
You know, it doesn't really matter. It doesn't really matter. If. If the desire is there, that's there and wherever there's a desired and there's an absolute possibility for the Fulfillment of it. Thank
14:42
you.
14:45
Hi, couple. Thanks for the opportunity. Couple in one of the spaces. I had asked you this
14:50
question as to I, when I read your work or listen to the, some of your talks, I get into this state of meditativeness, but it
15:02
If I don't have a DNA because of which it loses and then you
15:06
mentioned that
15:07
because of perhaps, because of the expected return.
15:12
My life.
15:16
For you to Truth for only few months. It's
15:18
like it's like and I can't hear you because it's breaking up every every third or fourth word is working
15:24
up
15:26
a couple. I'm sorry. I perhaps we lost the connection. I was telling that I when I read your work I get into this state of meditativeness when I listen to the talks same thing happens, but it doesn't really last and it just goes away. And when I asked you, this last time you mentioned that it could be
15:44
because of the
15:46
Exposure to untruth for a much longer
15:49
period of time than its to the truth in for a few months. So
15:53
is there a time frame? Let's say 32 years have exposed my daughter, only Hello. Then there's no time frame then if you if you're looking for a goal in the wrong place, if you keep if you keep listening, that's because something inside you is moved to listen to it and there's no compulsion or need to do so.
16:16
But time frame is a very intellectual thing. That's very, that's a that's a very black-and-white sort of mine. That is looking for a goal-oriented mind, if I do this and this and this you just turned it into a
16:32
prescription.
16:34
Like the peel.
16:37
I became drawn to work because it helped
16:41
me understand a lot of problems in my life. I wonder is there something that the pursuit of being a legend? Can provide that essentially won't be
16:55
just another stress. I don't know, because you're looking at it. You're you're looking at, you're looking at it. Like you're going to go to the store and
17:03
buy it. And therefore you're asking me. Is it worth to go buy it? My answer is no.
17:10
Nothing to bother something to go get.
17:13
There's not a strategy that if you go get it, there's no strategy here. Is that good for you?
17:21
I could build thanks for taking my questions.
17:24
So I'll
17:25
have been able to achieve a certain level of material success in my life. And what I found is a pattern is that I will often seek those who I think can help me but in doing so I've been rejected but that chip on my shoulder physically gets me to do it anyway and
17:46
tapping so many times that
17:49
I'm kind of I do I do.
17:50
Can you explain that again? I'm not sure. I understand what you were to me, sir,
17:55
in seeking to be
17:56
successful. I seek those who look successful to me, and I asked him for help and then I get red. You've already become successful. So, why would you seek others to be successful? If you will, if you are already successful, right? And that leads me to my question. I'm I've seen this pattern occur over and over and now I'm I was raised very religious and
18:20
Part of me is starting to feel like, I'm developing this kind of hubris that they warned you about that. This may just even lead to the outright rejection of the idea of God. And so my question is, it's worked so far. Is this just another lie that Society tells us that what has worked so far doing it, myself? Your questions very unclear yet. What are you looking for? What do you want? I was what we're looking for help for what? I'm looking.
18:50
To expose myself to
18:52
people who are successful but in the rejection. I but, but you already successful. I don't understand. What are you looking for, more? You're looking for more success. Is that what it is? Yes, apparently, so that's that's definitely what I'm looking for. No. No, I'm not. I'm not trying to be esoteric here. I'm asking you a straightforward question. Are you looking for? Don't turn into some, don't break a rule crap. Are you that what you're looking for is more success.
19:18
Yes, okay, and the level of success that you've already reached, is what
19:25
level
19:28
the tens of millions of dollars?
19:32
Okay. So yeah, I mean whatever the number I'm going with the number I'm talking about H, what level meaning is at the level, that is it? The level that is just a fraction of what you wanted or it's it's a pretty good percentage or degree not talking about numbers. I'm talking about overall bird's eye view. It is a pretty significant. It's in the neighborhood of the success that you want it. Is that is that true? Like what you just said? Okay and
20:01
And so your until you're looking for more. Okay. So, the first thing you have to get away from. Is this, is this fear of saying that I want more success. Okay, that's all crap. If you have a, I don't care if you're a heathen.
20:17
If you're true.
20:19
Then you won't. You won't listen to people who tell you you're a heathen. Those those things are such the road to hell. I mean even I was asking the question. I couldn't even get it out of you because you're afraid to say it and that's not honesty. It's your a few have success and you're looking for more success. Okay, fine. Great. There's nothing wrong with that. There's no, there's no no problems. No rules have been broken here. There's no crying. That's being
20:49
It here. In fact, that's how you become a legend.
20:55
Is because you want more. It is an enough for you and whatever that thing. Maybe so the, the problem that you have made is not in wanting more success.
21:08
The problem the mistake that you made is in looking to copy others and looking for mentors and looking for others who are successful, think that they'll give you some stupid advice, that's going to make you successful and that's just not
21:20
true.
21:22
What any any desire that's there for anything? Materialistic, desire monetary desire desire for, Conquering the mind or whatever. It may be. It doesn't matter about the content of the desire.
21:37
You cannot be in the shame Dennis for wanting something. If you want it, you want it. Now the effectiveness of getting that thing than an individual wants, that comes from truth.
21:55
So,
21:56
If whoever these people you went to?
22:00
If they gave you their opinion, it's a waste of time and there really is nothing else available in this world other than opinion. Because the number of people who are seeking truth in this world and the number of people who were giving truth in this world are basically zero.
22:21
So that was your mistake. Your mistake was on in Desiring, more, your mistake was when you said I want more, what should have been? The case was whatever. I want. I must have the truth to get that thing. Whatever it is. That was the mistake. And that is the only thing and that was the essence of the talk to the. That is the only thing which makes them.
22:51
One, get what they really want, is the truth, the truth about that thing, the truth about about the ins and outs of it. The truth about what mistakes one has made in pursuing it and that's why they haven't gotten the more. It's all about the truth. It's all about practical hard reality raw truth.
23:17
Thank you.
23:19
Hi.
23:23
Am I Audible?
23:30
Hello.
23:35
Thank you for the time.
23:38
My question is, what do you think about the person who always listen to the intuition? And the example is when I'm planting
23:52
at all. I don't think any, I don't, I don't think anything about them one way or the
23:56
other.
23:57
May I go ahead with my
23:59
question?
24:02
How do you know, how do you know? There is truth?
24:06
How do you recognize
24:07
truth?
24:14
I mean in the question, makes no sense.
24:18
From that question, it's clear that you don't know that there's truth or not. So we don't reason and even pursuing it. So don't I'm not telling you there is truth or there's not. It doesn't. It doesn't matter. It's an it's an irrelevant question. Forget true. Forget all about. It's not for you.
24:37
Emotions, like
24:41
there is no check on anything. You've been reading too much spirituality and self-help. Jargon. That's why you were asking this question. And those things don't have any meaning. There's no check on anything. There's no dealing with anything. Everything depends, upon everything comes back to cures. Everything comes back to the source of things where they arise, why they arise and their cure, but no dealing with there's no putting the ointment on it. There's all doing stupid poojas and all this crap. Those
25:06
Are all prescriptive nonsense just to keep oneself busy and waste time and time past till I
25:10
die.
25:12
Nobody
25:16
can hear the answer because he responded.
25:19
You're going to respond. Why the hell you asking a question.
25:23
Are you happy? Hello?
25:27
Thank you for everything you do. I would like to know, what is the cause behind the extremely
25:34
active mind. Thank you.
25:37
Well, that's the nature of the mind has to be reactive.
25:42
So it really comes down to
25:43
conquering it.
25:45
Thank you for taking my question in a decision-making process, people tend to use logic or emotion, but in light of your readings, I've decided the both of these are not real. There's only the truth. Is, is this correct?
26:02
Correct.
26:04
Thank you.
26:06
But a sea route of throat. Second question is who mines the same.
26:19
You could say that bit more or less, all societal. People are the same and therefore, all my lines are the same occasionally, one rare. One comes along, that is quite different than than the rest. So essentially from a practical perspective.
26:43
Because the masses are the masses. You can basically make that point, but there's always a few
26:49
exceptions.
26:52
I know dr. Cooper. My question is that I have been reading your books, listening, to a podcast for last few months, but I'm not able to understand much or explore much in my practical life. So I just want to know that how can I interpret your writings and you're speaking so that it makes more sense to
27:15
- Leo. I honestly I can't answer that question. I mean, I'm sure you're not alone. I'm sure there are many.
27:22
Who don't understand and I don't try to dumb it down. I have no interest in that because I have no interest in, you know, the masses looking at everything that I will get a ride. It's very, very sensitive person. And an individual must be willing to reach for it. If he wants it. I'm not going to come down because it's not for the masses. It's for individual who truly wants it end. And if one does not understand that that's a place to begin at once.
27:51
Doesn't understand through exposure. Maybe he will understand, maybe he wouldn't understand whatever he does to bridge. That gap of not understanding, if there's something that speaks in on a visceral level, then that will that will make him pursue bridging that Gap. Otherwise, it won't the individual comes from a place of conditioning for their entire lives. They've been listening to gurus and prescriptions and methods and techniques.
28:21
X, and all these recommended books and just nonsense crap. That's what they're used to. Therefore, when they come into my domain. They're used to that therefore, they don't get it. And most of the tenants, the most of the, the things that I write about are completely opposite of everything that someone's been told. So it is only natural that they want, understand Dickens out of left field. It's it's it's coming around the left side of the moon. So it is not at all.
28:51
Unusual that you wouldn't understand. Now, where you go from here. I don't know. You have to watch yourself and see where you end up going. You you may end up pursuing it further. You may just drop it altogether, but I sympathize with the fact that you don't understand, then that he isn't at all unusual.
29:10
Hi there. I wanted to ask how to figure out what to dig. Go go and seek in life and how to
29:24
figure out. If I can tell you that I can just know how to figure out.
29:36
Hi, I've been following you for a few years now. And the recent post about being on appreciative, with an inflated ego will lead to pain. I've experienced that firsthand my life sort of collapsed after being in an education house car and money on a
29:51
silver platter. I worked for it but unfortunate
29:54
circumstances also gave that to me. I ruined my life in a pretty bad way us.
30:03
Have a good job. Now, still have the house working on regaining Capital. But I was just wondering what is the road to I guess?
30:13
Recovery in terms of in
30:15
the from a psychological perspective, in terms of being able to be supremely appreciative and keep a low ego while still being able to pursue success and greater things. So remaining
30:32
humbles appreciative of appreciative of
30:34
what
30:36
Appreciative of having a life, a job, a roof over my head while still being able to put
30:43
some. I don't know. I don't know. Why is that telling to be appreciated? I mean, why? I don't know. I don't, I don't understand this gratitude nonsense. I don't. I just don't. If if you have it, then you did something to get it. If someone gave it to you. And you want to be appreciative to them, for giving it to you that head that I understand. I understand that that makes
31:06
And and I don't understand that one wouldn't be appreciative to one who gave them, you know, these things that I don't understand. But this appreciation in general. Let's just walking around being full of gratitude. It's all just just Hui. I mean, it's just Pie in the Sky. It's not, it's not, there's nothing nothing there. Why would you? I just don't understand the question you want to walk around being appreciative for what purpose?
31:35
Just because it sounds nice. I just don't understand. Now you ask, what is the road to recovery? I mean the road to recovery for anything really is honesty and truth, you know, it's being honest with oneself and exposing 12 truth. Not not, you know, anything, anything that you must go and do and practice and all that stuff. It really, it really is looking inside oneself and, and the more that one exposes oneself to truth in whatever.
32:06
Domain one wishes to expose him self then then, you know, possibility arises that they become more at ease with
32:16
themselves. Thank you. Hey, Kapil. Just wondering
32:24
what is some of the biggest
32:25
misconceptions that clients have come to you with that. They thought were contributing to them becoming Legends and when you actually pointed them out and they dropped them help contribute to
32:35
to them becoming a legend. Thank
32:37
you. Probably. The biggest misconception is the biggest poison in the water that I that really basically no one ever gets over. Is it because it's too deep. It's prescriptions. That's the biggest one. There's just it's not even close.
32:54
How to use the methods techniques? Follow this? Follow that, you know, the habits of people who have become successful in will copy them. These things are just such crap. It's they lead to so much pain. They lead to so much waste of a life. They lead to so much running in circles. Chasing one's own tail with nothing to show for it at the end of a life.

And and and and even everything that I just said not, no one can believe it. One can just examine their home life for for verification, but you asked me, what is the, you know, what is the biggest misconception? That's it. That's prescriptions. There is no greater poison in society than
33:42
that.
33:51
I look up in. Thank you for everything. I once heard you mention that one must have food on his plate before pursuing truth. So should a securing myself and my family, take precedence over Pursuit Of Truth and being a
34:08
legend.
34:10
Are you ready to leave your family? Let him starve? No, I feel to lose anything. That doesn't have any meaning. Then. I'm sorry. I fear it becoming an
34:20
Cute.
34:27
What I was saying was that.
34:31
One must feed her stomach before he can feed his soul and if one is working various jobs in order to make ends meet and that necessarily and appropriately is their first order of business in life, is to feed themselves and their family. And then after that, once that's
34:49
settled.
34:54
Something big is some, you know, in a devotional way at the, you know, above all things that. Now you can pursue truth in anything but to devote oneself to it and largely exclusively one must take care of his everyday life
35:15
first.
35:24
Hi, I'm it's exciting to talk about Legend work today. It's kind
35:30
of been on my mind. I've worked hard to feed my stomach and I feel like my stomach is quite full now, and it's been a few years of feeling like I have enough, and I do. I do fun work, I feel and natural, like, draw draw to do. And I kind of noticed that if these fun things keep going the way they're going and they find their place in the world. Someone.
35:53
Call it like, Legend, legendary results. And while I notice, I have a pull to do this work. I also have a lot of fear around it. Like I don't, I don't want to say, I don't want it
36:03
to do well, because that wouldn't be truthful. But
36:07
there is a part that's also like maybe it can just be just enough to like, you know, feed the family and like, kind of have have like this smaller safety.
36:19
I am not sure where the
36:21
truth is, in that.
36:23
At and sometimes it confuses me because there's like a what I perceive as a genuine and authentic pull to do the work and we don't know. I'm not sure what you're asking. Can you just clearly ask what you want to ask? Because I'm you're alone if I'm not sure what you're asking.
36:42
I typically
36:43
get what I want and what I want now are crazier things that I am afraid of
36:50
getting.
36:55
Okay, so you want to you're afraid of getting them? Okay,
36:58
so
37:04
I guess it's not enjoyable to fear feel fearful all the time.
37:09
Okay, this enjoyable to feel fear. So.
37:16
So I don't want to feel fear then, it makes me not want to do the thing. I want to do because I don't want to feel fear but then that's not true because okay want to do it, but don't do it. Don't do it, but I can't not do it. I like it pulled back into doing it.
37:32
Okay, then do it but then I get fearful. It's a circle.
37:39
You're just Chasing Ghosts here.
37:42
What do you want?
37:45
Okay.
37:52
Got a cock for truth.
37:56
It was whatever. One is driven to do is the process.
38:03
Goodbye.
