EE VIDEO Q&A
Purpose of 1st half in life?
Kali data device
1st 20 years being a student
After 20 years being a responsibility
After that do attachments
from all attachments to
life.
When all selfish attachments
have been released, the
body becomes an eternal
fool.
Like Gandhi —
make oneself ZERO
and become eternal.
How can you kill
someone who has already
died to him/herself.
Diana Lightwood — talked
about Easwaran's "having
our back."
