Acharya Prashant explains that one should view life's events as if they are happening on a screen. He advises not to get too excited, because irrespective of what happens on the screen—great things, silence, blasts, or piercing sounds—it is not real. The events on the screen are to be enjoyed, not indulged in. This is how one should look at things. The screen itself is one's own Self. If big, bad boys appear on the screen plotting to kill the cute, good boy, one should not try to jump into the screen. However, this is what we often do; we feel the baddies need to be punished and the good ones need to be salvaged, seeing ourselves as the redeemer. This is akin to a fool in a cinema hall trying to interfere with the movie, a mistake we make every single moment. The world is described as a great cinema hall with millions of screens, one for each person and each moment in time. All these movies have different plots and characters, but they all carry one common message: "We are real." They try to convince you that what you are seeing is really happening and invite you to join in. However, there is one special, qualitatively different movie that tells you that all you are seeing are just movies, not reality. Watching this special movie is like having the best seat in the hall with popcorn, which is a passport to equanimity. The popcorn turns you into a real witness, whose condition does not change irrespective of the drama on the screen. When your condition does not change, you are the pure, true Self. Using another analogy, the speaker compares this state to a bride at her wedding. She is surrounded by a large entourage, but she should not be taken away by the guests, photographers, or butlers. She belongs only to the special groom. This represents a delicate balance of being aware of and sensitive to everything, yet being captivated by nothing. One must have a very secret love affair that nobody, not even your worldly lover, knows about. It is a parallel world that empowers you to know everybody. This secret love affair helps you stay alive to see your liberation. The speaker quotes Kabir Saheb, saying that one sheath cannot hold two swords, implying one cannot belong to both the world and the Truth. One must belong once and belong to the right one.
