00:00So I would pick up a particular verse and vividly remember one day father was on the
00:06dining table and I go rushing to him and I say ye to koi baat nahi hui and I was
00:11pointing at a
00:11particular verse. What is this written? What is Krishna saying here? Ye to koi baat nahi hui.
00:18Those were my words. Ye to koi baat nahi hui. So I was lucky I could have that freedom
00:23to openly dissent against even Krishna. And had I not had the right to dissent, I would
00:36also not have the right to love. Both require freedom, no? There can be no dissent without
00:44freedom and there can be no love without freedom. So Gita can be read only in freedom.
00:53When you make the Gita a part of your religious complex, when you turn it into an obligatory
01:04reading, then there is no freedom.
