    Have you a girlfriend?
  • 1:48 - 1:48
    No.
  • 1:48 - 1:53
    No then. That is the most
    thinking problem is a girlfriend.
  • 1:53 - 1:56
    That, that you don't have.
  • 1:56 - 1:58
    And other is

  • 2:07 - 2:09
    I go to school.
  • 2:09 - 2:10
    I go to school.
  • 2:10 - 2:15
    Sometimes, because you are
    here in satsang, you see.
  • 2:15 - 2:20
    The teacher comes to your house
    to teach you, no?
  • 2:20 - 2:22
    No, I go to his house.
  • 2:22 - 2:23
    Go to this house?
  • 2:23 - 2:24
    His house.
  • 2:24 - 2:27
    For... this is your school, no?
  • 2:27 - 2:28
    No, not this one.
  • 2:28 - 2:30
    Then? Then what?
  • 2:30 - 2:32
    My teacher teaches me.
  • 2:32 - 2:33
    Like other schools.
  • 2:33 - 2:34
    Yes.
  • 2:34 - 2:35
    Atchaa, then...
  • 2:35 - 2:36
    But I have a private teacher.
  • 2:36 - 2:39
    Atchha, now you are here,
    you are thinking of school or not?
  • 2:39 - 2:40

    Yes.
  • 2:53 - 2:57
    I didn't like my teacher.
  • 2:59 - 3:03
    Because, because...
    another boy has come...
  • 3:03 - 3:05
    because he will beat me,
  • 3:05 - 3:09
    he will, he will give me punishment
    because I don't do homework.
  • 3:09 - 3:12
    Therefore I don't like teachers.
  • 3:12 - 3:14
    I do not all my homework.
  • 3:14 - 3:15
    You do?
  • 3:15 - 3:17
    I do bits of it.
  • 3:17 - 3:22
    Little bit? Then what you think about?
    What else?

    Everything else.
  • 3:26 - 3:28
    Huh. What do you think?
  • 3:28 - 3:29
    Everything else.

    "I have come here for freedom"
  • 3:51 - 3:55
    "and unless I am free
    I will not leave Lucknow."
  • 3:55 - 3:59

    here for freedom.
  • 3:59 - 4:02
    So, have you got freedom or no?
