Listener: Sir, you say that we must not go by the social norms, but we want to enjoy worldly success, like earning money…
Speaker: Do you understand enjoyment? There is a difference between enjoyment and titillation. There is a difference between enjoyment and entertainment. Do you really know, what joy is? You are using these words very loosely. Just because society has handed over these words to you, you are tossing them around. What is it that makes life worthy? You tell me, ‘what is it that makes life worthy?’ You will have to inquire into the essential nature of life. What is life all about? When do you say that a man is alive? Let us start with this : When do you say that a man is alive?
Listener: When he is fully engrossed in the moment.
Speaker: When he is fully engrossed in the moment. Let us say, ‘this moment’. What happens?
Listener: Right now I am listening…
Speaker: And hence you ‘know’, what is going on. To be alive is to really ‘know’ what is going on. To be alive is to clearly know, that I am conditioned and all my likes and dislikes are sourced in this conditioning
