00:00My dear child, my dear child is very dear, my dear child is very sweet, I'll say it again.
00:10Namaste Acharya Ji.
00:11And what you've done tonight, I am first of all delighted to hear you.
00:16It's an honor.
00:17You happen to be an intellectual giant and yet such an attractive one, dare I add.
00:23There was a lovely question from this gentleman and there were other questions.
00:29And I see that we are in a gathering where there's a lot of highly educated intellectual people.
00:37I would like to express something, hopefully not from an ego, but my heart.
00:45And what I really want to say is that the dynamic way in which you conduct yourself,
00:51please forgive me if I'm saying something, that sounds,
00:55please, this is just my own expression which I felt, like I said, compelled to say.
01:02Although you are such an intellectual giant and you speak with such clarity and the words you choose,
01:09I find that the softness that comes from your genuine, that place inside you, that undefinable space,
01:19that place which is so real, which is so true, which is that eternal, impeccable you and that speck.
01:29You are the lecturer, so I'm going to be not expressing it.
01:33You touch something within me that is also real.
01:38And I have enjoyed being here so much.
01:41I am probably one of your elder ones.
01:43I know you don't talk about age at all.
01:45I've heard people speak.
01:47And I was a student at university listening to people.
01:51But you have a tremendous impact, not just intellectually.
01:56You are not touching just the intellectual beings here,
02:00but you're touching and opening up a very tender part,
02:05a very gentle, loving part inside us.
02:09And I'd like to thank you and your team,
02:12which again, like the gentleman expressed,
02:15is humble, not arrogant.
02:18You do a tremendous, tremendous service,
02:21but with a humility,
02:23which only comes, like they say when the tree is ripe,
02:27and it bears the fruit that it boughs.
02:31I have been delighted to have this acquaintance.
