00:00If you go to a doctor and he starts prescribing you medicines
00:05without diagnosing you, what kind of doctor would that be?
00:09So all of us are actually bad doctors to ourselves.
00:14We do not like to diagnose our current condition,
00:18but we want great medicines so that we can be healthy and powerful and beautiful in the future.
00:26But how can you prescribe yourself a course of betterment
00:31if you do not know what your current ailment is?
00:35The mind does not want to go into its current state.
00:39And its current state alone is the problem.
00:42The mind does not want to go into that.
00:44Because it hurts.
00:46It hurts and it requires a certain discipline, a certain watchfulness.
00:52Instead of watching what is going on, the mind wants to deal in colourful imaginations.
01:00Therefore, the first step in decision making is to ask yourself,
01:05why do I need to make a decision?
01:07What is wrong with my current situation?
