| 0:00.0 | The thirst to be boundless is not created by you, it is just life longing for itself. |
| 0:20.4 | This very longing of wanting to be something other than who you are right now or wanting |
| 0:28.2 | to be something more is in a way we need to understand if we take one step we have to leave |
| 0:36.9 | the space in which we were and take the next step. This longing is just as invested itself in us |
| 0:46.0 | as a process of life, this longing to leave what we are in and go to the next and the next. |
| 0:52.1 | The first is in a way a living death that you are always wanting to |
| 1:01.0 | hold behind and want to move ahead but if we do not come to an absolute acceptance of our mortal nature |

| 2:07.1 | is life itself. The process of life is complete, the process of life will happen in full flow only |
| 2:15.6 | when there is a total acceptance of death. Living death is not some morbid dimension of life. |
| 2:22.7 | It is the most active and dynamic way to exist because if you constantly do not leave behind |
| 2:30.2 | the moment that is just passed as death you will not step into the fresh moment in your fullness |
| 2:38.1 | and your aliveness will become depleted. This is what has happened to a whole lot of adults |
| 2:46.0 | when they were children how alive they were and by the time they are 30 they are partially alive |
| 2:53.2 | the aliveness is gone down. One must understand this with age our physical agility may go down |
