0:00:06.940,0:00:08.740
I'm now here to speak about happiness

0:00:08.740,0:00:11.280
and the factors[br]that are said to lead to it.

0:00:11.780,0:00:13.470
I know, presumptuous.

0:00:14.470,0:00:17.390
Now, what's very interesting[br]about these factors

0:00:17.390,0:00:20.551
is that all of us, kind of, know about it.

0:00:20.551,0:00:23.020
After all, they've been around for ages.

0:00:24.130,0:00:29.000
And in this permanence,[br]in this immutability of the factors,

0:00:29.000,0:00:31.100
lies the paradox of happiness.

0:00:31.440,0:00:33.670
All of us want happiness,

0:00:33.670,0:00:36.800
all of us kind of know[br]where happiness exists,

0:00:36.800,0:00:39.924
and yet so few of us are genuinely happy.

0:00:40.324,0:00:41.342
Yes, so few,

0:00:41.342,0:00:45.411
because those gleeful photographs

0:00:45.411,0:00:48.341
on Instagram and Facebook,[br]notwithstanding. (Laughter)

0:00:48.341,0:00:49.870
So, with this in mind,

0:00:49.870,0:00:53.240
I intend my talk today to be[br]about three main themes.

0:00:53.240,0:00:56.610
One, we are reiterating[br]the well-known paths of happiness;

0:00:56.610,0:01:02.240
two, pinpointing the inbuilt[br]impediments in these paths;

0:01:02.240,0:01:08.210
and three, suggesting certain ways[br]to counter these impediments.

0:01:08.950,0:01:12.380
So, what are the well-known[br]paths of happiness?

0:01:13.120,0:01:15.120
Broadly speaking, there are three of them.

0:01:15.120,0:01:17.120
But before I get into the details of each,

0:01:17.120,0:01:20.390
a word on their universal[br]character and validity,

0:01:20.390,0:01:22.320
that how the same three paths

0:01:22.320,0:01:25.580
seem to be suggested by philosophy,[br]religion, and empirical evidence.

0:01:25.580,0:01:27.549
Let's take philosophy first.

0:01:27.549,0:01:31.030
Let's first take the first rate[br]in Western and Eastern philosophy.

0:01:31.030,0:01:34.250
Let's take Spinoza[br]and let's take the Bhagavad Gita.

0:01:34.810,0:01:36.520
Now interestingly,

0:01:37.370,0:01:39.230
the three paths suggested by Spinoza --

0:01:39.230,0:01:41.820
the path of feminine virtues, [br]masculine virtues,

0:01:42.530,0:01:44.890
virtues of the informed mind --

0:01:44.890,0:01:49.850
happen to be practically identical[br]with the paths suggested by the Gita:

0:01:49.850,0:01:56.010
the paths of Gyana yoga,[br]Karma yoga, and Bhakti yoga.

0:01:56.600,0:01:58.610
After philosophy,[br]when we come to religion,

0:01:58.610,0:02:00.640
it's again very remarkable to note

0:02:00.640,0:02:03.940
that most religions[br]tend to have a trinity.

0:02:04.470,0:02:07.341
And that the three aspects of the trinity,

0:02:07.341,0:02:09.511
they happen to be[br]in perfect correspondence

0:02:09.511,0:02:13.450
to the three paths of happiness[br]suggested by the best in philosophy.

0:02:13.450,0:02:16.270
How they correspond --[br]I'll gradually come to that.

0:02:16.270,0:02:20.400
By trinity, of course, what I mean[br]is Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh of Hinduism;

0:02:20.400,0:02:23.150
the son, the Father,[br]and the Holy Spirit of Christianity;

0:02:23.150,0:02:25.770
Mohammed, Allah, and Al-Haqq of Islam;

0:02:26.020,0:02:28.979
Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya[br]and Nirmanakaya of Buddhism.

0:02:28.979,0:02:31.889
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly [br]of Clint Eastwood. (Laughter)

0:02:31.889,0:02:34.540
OK, that was to see[br]whether you're still with me.

0:02:36.110,0:02:39.000
Finally we come to empirical evidence.

0:02:40.000,0:02:41.700
Now, according to this,

0:02:42.220,0:02:46.097
humanity can be broadly classified[br]into three personality types.

0:02:46.097,0:02:47.670
Yes, the three personality types

0:02:47.670,0:02:49.673
correspond to the three paths[br]of happiness.

0:02:49.673,0:02:52.730
Now the three types are endomorphic,[br]mesomorphic and ectomorphic.

0:02:52.730,0:02:55.673
Endomorphic: these guys[br]are soft and chubby.

0:02:55.673,0:03:00.001
They're fond of luxury,[br]food, social company.

0:03:00.001,0:03:03.000
The mesomorphic: they are[br]large-boned and muscular.

0:03:03.720,0:03:05.920
They're active, combative,[br]lustful for power.

0:03:05.920,0:03:08.450
And ectomorphic,[br]they're small-boned and slender.

0:03:08.450,0:03:13.001
They're cerebral, sensitive, introverted.

0:03:13.001,0:03:18.090
And all of us[br]are a combination of all three.

0:03:18.090,0:03:21.010
Most of us are a combination[br]of all three in varying degrees,

0:03:21.010,0:03:23.230
which also explains[br]why one man's happiness

0:03:23.230,0:03:25.900
is so different than that of another.

0:03:26.470,0:03:30.070
So now coming to the first path[br]of happiness: Bhakti yoga,

0:03:30.480,0:03:36.760
the path of the Incarnation,[br]the path of the soft and chubby endomorph.

0:03:36.760,0:03:39.750
So, the path of you can say,[br]love and devotion.

0:03:39.750,0:03:43.460
Love, primarily, because what incarnation[br]is primarily asking us to do

0:03:43.460,0:03:47.000
is to lead a life of love,[br]a life devoid of sin.

0:03:47.620,0:03:49.520
The connection between love and sin?

0:03:50.000,0:03:52.000
Sins are absence of love.

0:03:52.720,0:03:55.640
They're forms of hatred,[br]greed, pride, anger, envy;

0:03:55.640,0:03:56.920
hatred all.

0:03:56.920,0:04:00.000
Hatred is not compatible with happiness.

0:04:00.000,0:04:01.690
So with sins gone, hatred gone.

0:04:01.690,0:04:03.190
Hatred gone, love comes in.

0:04:03.190,0:04:06.790
And once love comes in --[br]well, you're happy.

0:04:06.790,0:04:10.000
Think about it. I mean,[br]as cheesy as this might sound,

0:04:10.000,0:04:14.050
your happiest days are ones[br]when everyone seems nice,

0:04:14.050,0:04:16.125
when you're running low on hatred.

0:04:16.125,0:04:18.765
The demanding wife seems justified,

0:04:18.765,0:04:20.620
the cab driver seems amiable,

0:04:20.620,0:04:22.590
the obnoxious boss seems to have a point,

0:04:22.590,0:04:26.760
and the receptionist seems[br]positively, positively endearing.

0:04:27.360,0:04:29.000
Which brings me to first love.

0:04:29.010,0:04:30.540
Now when...

0:04:30.910,0:04:32.773
you might have been in love, I believe,

0:04:32.773,0:04:34.080
if you remember first love,

0:04:34.080,0:04:39.260
you remember the wonderful feeling[br]of bliss that went with first love.

0:04:39.260,0:04:42.000
The feeling of perpetually[br]being on cloud nine.

0:04:42.920,0:04:44.750
Or could it be that Providence

0:04:44.750,0:04:50.000
has deliberately embedded[br]this program of first love in all of us

0:04:50.000,0:04:52.670
to acquaint us with the power of love?

0:04:52.670,0:04:55.050
If love for one can lead[br]to this kind of happiness,

0:04:55.050,0:04:58.309
imagine what kind of happiness[br]could be yielded by a love for all.

0:04:58.899,0:05:02.830
The question is that what prevents us[br]from walking this path of love?

0:05:02.830,0:05:05.350
What prevents us from loving all?

0:05:06.850,0:05:10.450
A tempting and politically[br]incorrect answer.

0:05:10.450,0:05:13.820
We don't love all people[br]because most people are bums.

0:05:13.820,0:05:15.900
They don't deserve to be loved.

0:05:15.900,0:05:18.040
Now how do we get past this impediment?

0:05:18.760,0:05:24.000
With the simple realization[br]that be the best or worst of us,

0:05:24.780,0:05:27.807
we actually don't have[br]much control over the way we are.

0:05:27.807,0:05:30.480
We don't have much contribution[br]to the way we are.

0:05:32.110,0:05:34.730
The family to which we were born,[br]the school we went to,

0:05:34.740,0:05:36.950
who sat next to us in class,

0:05:36.950,0:05:39.520
which book we read[br]at what point in time, and all such.

0:05:39.520,0:05:42.320
Neither our DNA[br]nor our circumstances are our doing.

0:05:42.320,0:05:46.180
So, let's cut the bums some slack.

0:05:46.930,0:05:49.220
We won't be able[br]to cut all that slack in one go,

0:05:49.220,0:05:51.020
so let's do it in phases.

0:05:51.020,0:05:54.750
Let's remember that on that long road[br]from hatred to love,

0:05:54.750,0:06:00.000
you have certain pit stops of resentment,[br]apathy, tolerance, cordiality, affection.

0:06:00.300,0:06:03.200
So don't rush it, alright.

0:06:03.200,0:06:05.300
Promote your subjects[br]one pit stop at a time,

0:06:05.300,0:06:07.690
and then experience it for yourself.

0:06:07.690,0:06:09.400
Experience how with each promotion

0:06:09.400,0:06:12.620
a packet of happiness[br]just bursts into your being.

0:06:13.950,0:06:18.330
For added flavor, for added pleasure,

0:06:18.330,0:06:20.760
you might want to add[br]some action to that promotion,

0:06:20.760,0:06:25.670
because in the end, real love[br]is not an emotion, it's an act.

0:06:25.670,0:06:29.726
It's an act of the will that ultimately[br]transforms into a spiritual experience,

0:06:29.726,0:06:33.880
and because it is an act,[br]we can hope to get better with practice.

0:06:33.880,0:06:36.890
Which brings me[br]to the second path: Karma Yoga.

0:06:36.890,0:06:38.470
Selfless action.

0:06:38.990,0:06:42.230
One acts but he abandons[br]the rights with the results of that act.

0:06:43.000,0:06:45.400
The path of the active[br]and combative mesomorph,

0:06:45.400,0:06:48.210
in the Trinity of the Father,[br]the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

0:06:48.210,0:06:50.760
This is the father; father indeed,

0:06:50.760,0:06:53.210
because when you consider[br]a kindergarten-going kid,

0:06:53.650,0:06:56.514
that kid knows that it is him[br]who has to finish his homework,

0:06:56.514,0:06:58.704
it is him who has[br]to tackle the school bully,

0:06:58.704,0:07:00.300
who has to deal with the teacher.

0:07:00.300,0:07:03.004
But yes, if something[br]drastically wrong happens,

0:07:03.004,0:07:04.730
his father will be there for him.

0:07:05.610,0:07:06.610
Alright.

0:07:06.610,0:07:10.200
So Karma yoga then,[br]if I may borrow a cliché,

0:07:10.200,0:07:13.320
is about "do your best, forget the rest."

0:07:14.020,0:07:15.360
Sounds simple and soothing

0:07:15.360,0:07:18.420
but all of us know[br]that it's easier said than done.

0:07:18.420,0:07:19.490
Why?

0:07:20.310,0:07:22.199
Because no matter how much we do

0:07:22.199,0:07:25.204
there's always that nagging feeling[br]that we haven't done enough.

0:07:25.514,0:07:27.666
You know, we've over the years[br]come to abandon

0:07:27.666,0:07:31.374
that wonderful, wonderful[br]commodity called resignation.

0:07:32.024,0:07:33.000
Too bad,

0:07:33.000,0:07:34.640
because neuroscience tells us

0:07:34.640,0:07:39.069
that while grappling with a problem,[br]when the mind resigns to an outcome,

0:07:39.819,0:07:42.650
then the amygdala in the brain[br]stops sending forth signals

0:07:42.650,0:07:44.280
of stress and anxiety.

0:07:46.250,0:07:50.700
And here lies the inbuilt[br]impediment of Karma Yoga.

0:07:52.000,0:07:54.743
All of us know that we need[br]to resign at some point.

0:07:54.743,0:07:57.600
We're never able to figure out[br]where exactly that point lies.

0:07:57.600,0:08:02.000
I mean, how much effort is commensurate[br]for me to say that I did my best?

0:08:02.880,0:08:07.160
Well, one way to look at that question[br]could be to change perspective.

0:08:08.020,0:08:09.020
OK?

0:08:09.020,0:08:11.970
And when we see[br]that "change perspective,"

0:08:11.970,0:08:15.400
I mean instead of figuring out ways

0:08:15.400,0:08:20.900
to see how much more[br]could be done to achieve a goal,

0:08:20.900,0:08:23.300
what could be done to achieve a goal,

0:08:23.300,0:08:27.140
we try to figure out[br]how relevant the goal is.

0:08:29.000,0:08:32.400
We disentangle ourselves[br]from the goal, we step back from it.

0:08:32.400,0:08:36.680
We take a wider view of it[br]and then it starts to come to us.

0:08:38.340,0:08:40.520
That how much effort is commensurate.

0:08:40.520,0:08:42.801
However, that still[br]leaves us with a big problem.

0:08:42.801,0:08:46.580
Because when you've been in this business[br]for sizing up your goals for long,

0:08:46.580,0:08:47.920
eventually what could happen

0:08:47.920,0:08:52.000
is that most goals[br]could begin to seem trivial.

0:08:52.000,0:08:54.795
And a trivial goal[br]does not instigate action.

0:08:54.795,0:08:56.364
We're up against a paradox again.

0:08:56.364,0:08:59.458
Give too much relevance to your goals[br]and you see nervous tension;

0:08:59.458,0:09:02.500
give too little relevance[br]and you see inactive depression.

0:09:02.880,0:09:04.100
The solution?

0:09:04.100,0:09:05.640
Well, not a clear cut one,

0:09:05.640,0:09:09.110
but I get hints of it[br]in my morning tennis every day.

0:09:10.670,0:09:13.820
This a place where I'm running,[br]I'm sweating, I'm strategizing.

0:09:13.820,0:09:18.820
I've even been accused[br]of deliberately making false line calls.

0:09:18.820,0:09:21.000
In short, I'm really keen to win.

0:09:21.000,0:09:26.000
However, if I lose, that loss doesn't stay[br]with me for more than 15 minutes.

0:09:26.690,0:09:29.270
So I guess the real trick of Karma Yoga

0:09:29.270,0:09:33.490
lies in being able to replicate[br]that tennis match sagacity

0:09:33.490,0:09:35.110
into everyday endeavor.

0:09:36.000,0:09:40.000
And that brings me finally[br]to the final path that is Gyana Yoga,

0:09:40.000,0:09:43.280
the path of the sensitive[br]and introverted ectomorph.

0:09:43.810,0:09:45.150
The path of the Holy Spirit,

0:09:45.150,0:09:49.660
that all transcending[br]and yet all pervading divine reality --

0:09:50.000,0:09:54.370
Nirgun, Nirvishesh, Nirakar, Akarta.

0:09:54.370,0:09:57.730
Without quality, without attribute,[br]without form, non-agent.

0:09:58.400,0:09:59.930
In the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad,

0:09:59.930,0:10:03.357
when the boy's father is finished[br]telling about the divine reality to him

0:10:03.357,0:10:05.074
he in the end adds,

0:10:05.074,0:10:07.860
"And that, Svetaketu, art thou."

0:10:07.860,0:10:09.230
"Tat twam asi."

0:10:09.230,0:10:12.290
Not just Svetaketu,[br]but all of us are this divine reality.

0:10:12.290,0:10:15.170
It is this divine reality[br]that is the core of our existence.

0:10:15.175,0:10:16.530
Vedanta says so.

0:10:16.530,0:10:18.443
Eckhart and Thomas Aquinas say so.

0:10:18.443,0:10:20.630
The Muslim Sufi Al-Ghazali says so.

0:10:20.630,0:10:22.570
Buddhism says so. Tao and Zen say so.

0:10:22.570,0:10:24.675
Also, quantum physics says so.

0:10:24.675,0:10:27.840
What is quantum entanglement[br]or the collapsing of wave functions?

0:10:27.840,0:10:28.982
It is the divine reality

0:10:28.982,0:10:32.230
where the observer, the observed,[br]and the observation blend into one.

0:10:32.230,0:10:34.805
What is the phenomenon[br]where they successfully separate

0:10:34.805,0:10:37.024
a subatomic particle[br]from its magnetic moment?

0:10:37.024,0:10:40.218
Is it not a reality of which[br]quality is not an attribute?

0:10:40.218,0:10:42.410
To realize our oneness[br]with this divine reality

0:10:42.410,0:10:44.650
is the ultimate goal of every human life.

0:10:44.650,0:10:46.730
But why aren't we able to do so?

0:10:47.470,0:10:49.980
Because as Al Pacino says[br]in "Scent of a Woman,"

0:10:49.980,0:10:51.970
"It's too damn hard."

0:10:51.970,0:10:53.690
(Laughter)

0:10:53.690,0:10:55.490
Hoo-ah!

0:10:56.240,0:11:00.470
Actually, it's hard because[br]it's all uncharted territory.

0:11:01.280,0:11:05.800
And what further cripples us[br]in this uncharted territory

0:11:05.800,0:11:10.000
is the fact that we are[br]totally ignorant of our limitations.

0:11:10.000,0:11:15.490
We will not believe that there is a limit[br]to our levels of understanding,

0:11:15.490,0:11:18.970
that we share 98 percent[br]of our DNA with chimpanzees,

0:11:18.970,0:11:21.020
and that the two percent jump in DNA

0:11:21.020,0:11:24.980
should not result[br]in an infinite jump in brain capacity.

0:11:25.500,0:11:28.355
So just as a chimpanzee[br]will never understand quantum theory,

0:11:28.355,0:11:30.980
there are certain things[br]which even when explained to us

0:11:30.980,0:11:32.490
we will not understand.

0:11:32.490,0:11:34.860
Similarly, we will not believe

0:11:34.860,0:11:38.320
that there could be stimuli[br]and sense perceptors

0:11:38.320,0:11:39.670
other than the ones we know.

0:11:39.670,0:11:42.620
We will not believe[br]that language and reason

0:11:43.140,0:11:45.620
are prime tools of understanding,

0:11:45.620,0:11:48.070
have some inherent[br]and inbuilt limitations.

0:11:48.580,0:11:50.070
Wittgenstein in his "Tractatus"

0:11:50.070,0:11:53.764
and Immanuel Kant[br]in his "Critique of Pure Reason"

0:11:53.764,0:11:56.870
made some really valid expositions[br]about these limitations.

0:11:57.680,0:11:59.800
Which is not to say[br]that knowledge and reason

0:11:59.800,0:12:01.634
have no role whatsoever in Gyan yoga.

0:12:01.634,0:12:05.310
They do. It's just that by themselves,[br]they are insufficient,

0:12:05.310,0:12:06.850
they're not enough.

0:12:07.390,0:12:09.440
It's like if you're a painter,

0:12:10.190,0:12:11.720
then a good book

0:12:11.720,0:12:15.189
containing some great critiques[br]on painting could be of great help to you.

0:12:15.189,0:12:17.820
But the book itself[br]will not get you there.

0:12:17.820,0:12:20.062
At some point, you need[br]to get your hands dirty,

0:12:20.062,0:12:21.980
you need to pick up paint and brush.

0:12:22.470,0:12:25.110
So, how do you pick up paint and brush?

0:12:25.110,0:12:28.470
And how do you get[br]your hands dirty in Gyan yoga?

0:12:28.860,0:12:32.160
Simple. Mindfulness and meditation.

0:12:32.160,0:12:33.977
I won't go into the technique details,

0:12:33.977,0:12:37.650
but I'll say what happens with your brain[br]and mind when you start to meditate.

0:12:38.050,0:12:41.850
Your brain starts to alter itself[br]on a permanent basis.

0:12:42.530,0:12:44.570
It's called neuroplasticity.

0:12:45.000,0:12:49.520
Feel-good chemicals are secreted,[br]neural networks get rewired

0:12:49.520,0:12:54.260
in a fashion that helps[br]to keep you stress-free.

0:12:54.260,0:12:55.850
Cortical thickness increases,

0:12:55.850,0:13:00.520
which assists in problem-solving,[br]planning and emotional regulation.

0:13:00.520,0:13:02.530
Cell density decreases,

0:13:02.530,0:13:05.000
but in areas[br]that are responsible for stress.

0:13:05.000,0:13:09.170
In short, feel good after meditation[br]isn't just psychological.

0:13:09.750,0:13:10.800
Alright.

0:13:10.800,0:13:13.490
And which brings me to the point that...

0:13:13.490,0:13:16.780
But anyway, just leave aside[br]the neuroscience.

0:13:16.780,0:13:21.823
Let's come to the fact of what[br]is happening in terms of real experience.

0:13:22.413,0:13:25.282
Well, in real experience,[br]when you're being mindful

0:13:25.282,0:13:27.794
you're learning to respond[br]rather than react.

0:13:28.194,0:13:29.260
When you're meditating

0:13:29.260,0:13:31.881
you're learning to increase control[br]over your attention.

0:13:31.881,0:13:34.330
You're thus making yourself[br]less and less vulnerable

0:13:34.330,0:13:38.260
to any stray stimuli[br]that might aggravate you.

0:13:38.260,0:13:40.760
With the stray stimuli[br]and the uncontrolled reactions

0:13:40.760,0:13:41.937
out of the way,

0:13:41.937,0:13:44.770
the dust begins to settle,[br]the mind becomes clearer.

0:13:44.770,0:13:48.372
You can thus view yourself,[br]know yourself, at far greater clarity.

0:13:48.372,0:13:52.660
Your prejudices, your preferences,[br]your desires, your aversions.

0:13:52.660,0:13:55.890
You can clearly see their machinations,[br]their manipulations.

0:13:57.230,0:13:59.050
Far more important than all this,

0:13:59.460,0:14:01.210
when you're mindful,

0:14:01.210,0:14:04.310
you begin to enjoy this whole show[br]as a spectator or witness.

0:14:04.310,0:14:09.510
You know, the actor -- I, me, myself,[br]gradually starts to lose relevance.

0:14:10.070,0:14:12.040
And when you start to view the world

0:14:12.450,0:14:14.640
with a little less of self-reference,

0:14:15.080,0:14:19.950
things automatically begin to seem[br]a bit more calm, a bit more pleasant.

0:14:21.070,0:14:23.350
Well, that was about happiness[br]and the paradox.

0:14:23.350,0:14:25.084
If you allow me just one more minute

0:14:25.084,0:14:27.860
I'll let you know all the clichés[br]related to happiness.

0:14:28.530,0:14:31.200
The clichés -- those phrases[br]which we hear so often

0:14:31.200,0:14:34.070
that they cease to have[br]any meaning for us whatsoever.

0:14:34.620,0:14:38.890
Now when we consider a cliché,[br]we view it as a point, that red point,

0:14:38.890,0:14:40.691
on the circle of our understanding.

0:14:40.691,0:14:41.850
When we take a side view

0:14:41.850,0:14:46.310
we realize that what we thought[br]to be a circle is, in fact, a spiral.

0:14:46.310,0:14:47.680
OK?

0:14:49.000,0:14:52.132
Then it's further revealed[br]to us -- this is getting technical --,

0:14:52.132,0:14:53.650
it's further revealed to us

0:14:53.650,0:14:57.240
that the cliché which from[br]our top view appears to be fixed,

0:14:57.810,0:15:03.140
actually has the potential to exist[br]at higher and higher planes of profundity.

0:15:03.800,0:15:07.590
For example, the simple words,[br]the simple cliché:

0:15:07.590,0:15:09.500
"Do your best, forget the rest"

0:15:09.500,0:15:14.070
is true for both a school-going child[br]and the great philosopher Spinoza.

0:15:14.070,0:15:18.429
But the insight that each derives[br]from these words is hugely different.

0:15:18.429,0:15:19.690
So all I'm trying to say

0:15:19.690,0:15:24.000
is that when it comes to clichés[br]related to happiness and spirituality,

0:15:24.000,0:15:26.345
they tend to have[br]more than one layer of meanings.

0:15:26.610,0:15:29.250
So, the thought that I want[br]to leave you with is:

0:15:32.150,0:15:34.560
Let's not be shy[br]of revisiting our clichés.

0:15:34.560,0:15:37.500
Let's not be shy of trying to unlock them

0:15:37.500,0:15:40.320
using any combination of techniques[br]from the three paths.

0:15:40.320,0:15:42.590
And yes, while using the three paths,

0:15:42.590,0:15:44.610
let's not forget,[br]let's always keep in mind

0:15:44.610,0:15:47.094
the basic principle[br]that lies at their core.

0:15:47.094,0:15:51.074
The principle that before[br]we seek happiness,

0:15:51.994,0:15:54.689
let's make ourselves[br]more conducive to receiving it.

0:15:55.009,0:15:56.150
Thank you.

0:15:56.150,0:15:58.310
(Applause)
