Yeah. So, you know, what you'd say, what was it like before? It was like everybody else. You know, even in spirituality, there's a lot of competition. You know, the gurus are competing with each other for attention. It's not about the knowledge. It's about them. So, you know, when you give up all that, it's all fun. It's all joyful. It's very joyful.

What happens to the screen when you stop watching Netflix or then you switch on to Disney on their screen or switch on to Amazon? The screen has the capacity to deliver infinite movies. but the screen itself is not affected by the movies that are on the screen. Think of a mirror that can reflect infinite sceneries, but the mirror itself is not affected. So the real you is not affected.

It just, it recycles and evolves. Now you say reincarnation. It's not a bad word, actually, because it's happening all the time. Your stomach cells are recycling every five days.

Your liver cells regenerate every six weeks or so, but they remove toxins.
