How do you see yourself?

Self doesn't exist in isolation. That's one of the ways in which the Eastern philosophy, specifically Indian philosophy, is very different from the Western philosophy. The Western philosophy has one truth, one self, self-actualization, which all of it really focuses on me, me, me, me, me going all the way up. You know, my food, my safety, my relationships, my self-esteem, my self-actualization. It sort of goes, only focuses on me, and that leads to loneliness. Whereas when you do it in conjunction with others, you're sort of, it's a give and take. Each of these moments becomes, you know, an opportunity for you to really thrive. So then you are not sort of, you know, hoarding more than what you need. You are also very comfortable giving because you've also received, you know. So that, I think, is the basic difference when you put yourself in relationship with the rest of the world. And that's a very, that's a very fundamental shift in the paradigm.
