00:00If there is an animal sitting in the woman, there is a bigger animal sitting in the man

00:05and that animal is bloodthirsty and bigger and he'll eat you up, he'll tear you apart

00:10and that's what he has been doing since centuries.

00:13If you remain an animal, the male, remember, is a bigger and more powerful animal.

00:19The only way you can beat the male animal is by not remaining an animal, become a human being.

00:25And a human being is not characterized by her reactiveness or emotionality.

00:31The mark of a human being is consciousness, understanding, depth, freedom of thought.

00:37Whenever you find emotions taking control of yourself, resist, fight.

00:42That's the one battle worthy to be fought.

00:46The external battles can wait a little.

00:48If you can fight the internal battle well, you'll find the external battles are far easier to win.

00:53Be a master of your own mind.
