And the fire is very small. Poor

He was a man. And his body is hard to burn.

Family worried,

they are unlikely to burn his body.

Rich off well.

Even after the death of a wealthy family

is glad that his body

quickly consumed. Even after death

You can distinguish the rich from the poor.

If this was the last burning ...

Somehow have survived, and said,

"Well, now that it happened."

But in this culture

people really believe

that after death they will be back again.

The new birth and a lifetime of suffering,

burning, rebirth, death,

rebirth, death, and it is compulsory

rotation scares these

people. They suffer so much.

They are not very aggressive.

They simply ask:
"Why, why?"

They want to go ... They want to

get out of this vicious circle.

In this world of so much crap!

The world is not stable, the world is full of sh*t.

You're all in the sh*t. Sh*t flowing streams.

Sh*t coming down on you.

And this sh*t is not just here.

Sh*t follows you.

Sh*t rotates poured on you.

And in different cultures

people in different ways to explain it.

For example,

Catholics say, "You've earned it."

Protestant:

"Now this is happening to others."

Muslims say:

"This is the will of Allah."

The Jews always say, "Why

it always happen to us? "

Buddhists say

"In fact, it is not sh*t."

In Japan, Zen Buddhists say:

"Listen to the sound of falling sh*t."

But, you know, it's just a theory.

This is just some solutions

invented by people,

trying to comfort others.

Help people get out of the sh*t.

Come on. We need to make

something interesting and important.

Give. Come on.

Close your eyes.

Your ears and just breathe.

Your ears and just breathe.

That was your lesson today.

Sorry.

Want to buy a flower? 1 0 Rs.

Throw in the Ganges. Do you? Want to buy a flower?

Why?

Why should I buy you a flower?

Throw it into the Ganges with your name.

It will bring good luck to your family.

I have no family.

Write the name of your child.

I do not have a child.

This will help it gain?

- Do you have a match?

- I have.

I need a fire

something to read.

Take a look. I can not read.

You do not help me to read it?

This is in Hindi.

I will speak in English.

I crossed the seven seas.

Climbed the seven hills.

Passed all of the valley.

Across the vast plains.

At all times of the year.

I traveled all over the world.

And when I got home,

I was amazed to see the whole world

in a tiny droplet on a piece in my garden.
