I am pulling your ears so that no one can pull your ears || (2014)

Questioner (Q): Sir, it has happened many times that during the session we are not allowed to speak or ask our doubts. Why is it so?

Acharya Prashant (AP): It is because when a patient is being operated, when a surgical process is going on and the patient is lying on the table, you anesthetize the patient. You do not give the patient the freedom to walk. You do not give the patient the freedom to talk.

Do you understand this?

There are situations where your speaking will be extremely harmful for you yourself. A patient is being operated on the table and what if he starts walking and talking? He starts saying that ‘It is my right and freedom, how can you take away my freedom to speak, my freedom to walk?’

Would you allow him to walk? Would you allow him to talk?

Let me give you an example. When I entered this room, my friend here (pointing at one of the listeners) made quite a nice face looking at me.

She was actually delighted to look at me. So delighted that she quickly picked up her bag and tried to run away! Had I given her the right to run away, could she have enjoyed the session?
