So there is a difference between, you read in the school textbook, the planet is round. Yeah. But you took a voyage and went around the planet and came. Or you went to the moon and looked down. That planet is round. Very different, isn't it? Profound experiences and information are two different things. Information is useful to fix the outside situation.

But the inner situation is never fixed with information. It needs a profound experience. It needs access. That access is missing because information is always coming from outside. Right now, people have seen the whole cosmos through their phone screen. It gives them a false sense that they know whole cosmos, but all they have seen is the phone screen.

So because of this, the basic mental structure, how it works, what happens. See, for example, how our mental structure is formed. Everything that's there in your mind today, whatever content you have in your mind today, is something that you imbibed from outside. Yes? How did you imbibe? By seeing, by hearing, by smelling, by touching, tasting. That's how you imbibed, yeah.

That's how you imbibed through five senses. But today, most of it you're imbibing only as information, not even as impression. Right. At least the impressions together would become an experience. But today it's purely information. Just the frosting, no cake.

No. Oh, okay. Like that. I thought just cake, no icing. Oh, I see what you're saying. One or the other. Without icing, cake is actually a good thing. It's bread.

Yes. No substance. Okay. No nourishment. Good. Just surface, which looks good. Yeah. And when you stand on it, it cracks. Yeah. So all this is metaphorical, but let's come down to the simple fact. The simple fact is this. As we went through this monkey experiment, if you say, I don't want something, only that happens. To this mind, somebody tells you what is good, what is bad.
