Like the English expression, falling in love is good, you have to fall.

You don't rise in love, you don't fly in love, you don't walk in love, you fall in love.

That means something of you, when I say something of you, you don't have to cut off an arm or something.

What you have constructed as myself, your persona has to fall at least in part to accommodate the other.

Otherwise, there is no profound experience of that, it's just simple pleasure.

See, the thing is, this funda… this is coming from the fundamentals of one human being is better than the other, all right?

When you are young, somebody may be physically better than the other, it's true.

Somebody may be intellectually better than the other, that is true.

But the fundamental judgment that one life is better than the other is a basic flaw.

that you're bringing into the society, once you do that, this is happening right from kindergarten, who is better than whom, who is first, who is second, all the time this is going on.

Once you bring this, there is a certain kind of mental ailment.

Let me put it this way so that you know it's in the right context.

If you are going through stress in your work, whatever the nature of your work, whether you're the president of this country or you're doing a menial job, if you're going through stress,

I think you're mentally ill, because it's the first stage.

You think you don't need treatment, maybe you don't need, but it needs attention for sure, one way or the other.

If you don't, it will graduate into various things, naturally.

Otherwise, you'll withdraw from your activity and think you're fine.

This is what people are doing.

Right now, you talk to anybody, people are talking, what is it, in India, I think it's a forty-eight hour work... work week.

In America, I don't know what it is, forty week, forty hours, is it?
