Dr. Alok Kanojia

I know my shit.

And then the poison goes into your mind.

Well, maybe I don't know my stuff.

Oh, my God.

What if there is a paper that I missed?

What if there is something that I – and then that injury will grow in your mind.

And so all of your – and this is the stuff, right?

Like the stuff that hurts us when people insult us, what hurts are the things we believe about ourself.

We all have these doubts because we're not perfect human beings, because we make mistakes.

And when someone figures out, oh, my God, this is this person's weak point.

And the really scary thing is that humans have evolved to do this.

All you have to do is go to any recess in the fifth grade and kids will figure out what hurts and then they will say it to you again and again and again and again.

But I think it's really important to remember if something hurts, that's your own insecurity.

And insecurity, remember, if you say, I am a loser, I am fat, I am ugly, those are all part of your ego.

So there are certain things that you can do.

And this goes back to the what is that voice on the inside?

So this is where in the Eastern system, there is a self beyond the mind.

So the mind is not what you are.

The mind is an organ that you can observe in the same way that you can observe your hand, in the same way that your hand can change, your mind can change.

Your mind changes every day.
