Your Soul Never Forgets: Awakening Ancient Spiritual Memories · Spiritual Sense: Practical wisdom to quiet an overthinking mind and recharge your soul

  Speaker A: Welcome to Spiritual Sense. I'm Brother Michael and this is Sister Shireen. We are spiritual teachers of 6, nearly 60 years combined spiritual practice and teaching. And today we're diving into spiritual muscle memory, which is a curious topic that our lovely Sister Shreem wanted to talk about. So I am not exactly sure what it's she's going to talk about, but let's jump into it. So what is this spiritual muscle memory and why is this important?
• 0:38
  Speaker B: You know, in our recent lessons, one of the things that came up was that that if you develop a method of transformation, then that will be useful for you in the future. So any method of transformation. Right. That it should be a method that's going to work. And if that method works, and let's say you have done it for a period of time, you know, put it into practice for a period of time, let's say 10 years ago, 10 years later, if you want to do any kind of transformation, that method will work because there is something called spiritual muscle memory, just like there's something called physical muscle memory.
• 1:33
  Speaker A: So this is like setting ourselves up for success.
• 1:37
  Speaker B: Absolutely. Future, yes. So do you play the piano, Brother Michael?
• 1:43
  Speaker A: I do play the piano, yes.
• 1:44
  Speaker B: Okay. When did you first learn the piano?
• 1:48
  Speaker A: I learned the piano when I was. I don't know, probably about 10, maybe or eight or something.
• 1:57
  Speaker B: Okay.
• 1:57
  Speaker A: And then I went many, many years where I didn't play the piano. I actually stopped playing the piano on purpose because I felt I was trying to do too many things and it was stressing me out. And then I got a piano recently and I found that I was quite good at the piano without doing anything.
• 2:15
  Speaker B: My point exactly.
• 2:17
  Speaker A: There it is.
• 2:18
  Speaker B: There it is. And so what we. What that happens is that you created a muscle memory, right? It's a physiological muscle memory. It involves the soul, the brain, your fingers, everything else, your nervous system, everything. And you. You created a memory of how to play the piano. And so let's say for 20 years you didn't play the piano at all. And then suddenly you picked it up and you, whatever you learned when you were 10 years old, it all came back. And it came back to you with equal dexterity, actually, because you created a muscle memory when you were 10 and you could use that same muscle memory later on in life. And so the same application, actually the same thing applies to the soul. So we actually have something called spiritual muscle memory.
• 3:22
  Speaker A: Well, it seems that way for bad habits anyway. I'm sure it's the same for good habits. You know, it's like I Thought I overcame this old habit of mine. And then like, you're in a situation, I'm in a situation, and something goes, trigger, trigger, trigger. I'm like, oh, look, it's easy to do this thing I thought I wasn't doing anymore. So if it's true for that, then it must be true the other way around. So, yeah, it's setting ourselves up for success, right?
• 3:49
  Speaker B: You know that. Now that you bring up bad habits, I want to talk about samskaras. I don't know if we have spoken about sanskaras before in our podcast, but sanskaras are very important to understand. So they're one of the three faculties of the soul. Just like we have eyes and ears and nose. The same way the soul has certain faculties, right? It's. These are the faculties of the body, right? But the soul itself has certain faculties, and that is the mind, the intellect, and the samskaras, or impressions. And so samskaras, you could say, are any kind of imprints on the soul. So let's say any experience I have, whether it is smelling a lemon or getting mugged, they're all, you know, varying degrees of experience. They all create a imprint on the soul. It's not just on the brain. The imprint doesn't just go on the brain, right? People say that memory is stored in the brain. Yes, it is stored in the brain, but it's also stored in the soul in this subtle spiritual faculty called saskaras. And so samskaras are not only the imprints, right? The closest translation we can give is impressions or imprints on the soul. So samskaras are not only imprints, but they. These imprints, right, create attitudes, belief systems, long term memory habits. All of those things are sanskaras. So I'll give you an example of a samskara. So let's say I am 2 years old and this is a true story. Actually, I'm two years old and I don't like mangoes, which is shocking. But that was true. That was true. Yes.
• 6:00
  Speaker A: This is for you.
• 6:01
  Speaker B: Yes.
• 6:02
  Speaker A: You didn't like mangoes at 2 years old?
• 6:04
  Speaker B: No, I didn't like mangoes at 2 years old. And that was not okay with my parents, right? Because they had a mango farm. Like a big, big mango farm, right? Like a big plantation kind of thing with different kinds of mangoes. And they were like, what? That's not acceptable.
• 6:24
  Speaker A: She must. She's not our daughter.
• 6:27
  Speaker B: What's going on with this?
• 6:28
  Speaker A: So that was considering putting you up for adoption?
• 6:31
  Speaker B: Thankfully not. I'm not sure about so but my mom had an idea. So what she would do is before giving me food in the morning, whenever mango season came around, she would feed me a little bit of mango. And I remember resisting and doing all of those things, and it didn't work, right? I distinctly remember these memories of not wanting to eat the mango and my mom forcing me to eat it. So about, I think, about two or three weeks later, maybe I was two or three, when the mango season came around. And this happened every day, Every day, every day, a fight over eating a mango. Then I started loving mangoes, right? So now let's take the first bite of mango I had when I was 2 or 3. So the way it tasted, the way it felt, the way it smelled, I'm creating a memory. Not just in my brain, I'm creating a memory in the soul, right? The taste, the smell, everything. I'm creating a memory in the soul. And that memory place where that memory is created is called saskaras. And so I'm creating a saskara. So the next day, again, I'm fed the mango. And now initially, I'm recalling that I don't like the smell of it, I don't like the taste of it. And I'm resisting because where is it coming up from? The memory is coming up from the samskaras into my mind, right? This is the taste, this is the smell, this is the way it looks. And it's mango don't eat, right? It's coming up in the mind. So the sanskaras are being fed into the mind, which is another faculty of the soul. So like that, it goes on and on. And then let's say it took three weeks or however long it took for me to actually get used to eating a mango, which I can't imagine because now I can have mango for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And I'm fine. I don't need to eat anything else. But so that's what happens, right? So the samskaras are being programmed. Impressions are being created. So for three weeks, an impression was created about the mango. And in this case, I had a favorable impression of the mango. So those impressions, now, those impressions are very important because impressions are key to life, right? So impressions are key to life in that they can be necessary impressions. They can be good impressions, they can be negative impressions, and they can be our original impressions. So let's talk about what you were saying about bad habits. So let's say anger or fear or even, let's say some kind of addiction, right? That could. And especially addiction is just a Habit that is really harmful to the soul. That's all it is, right? So all these are sanskaras. Actually, all of them are sanskaras. And sanskaras are really key to life. And so let's say I have fear, impression or anger, samskara or saskara and impression are the same. I'm using them interchangeably. All of these things are negative. So when you were saying these bad impressions, right, like these bad habits, these addictions that come up and you thought, oh, they're gone. But they are actually deep sanskaras that keep coming up on the mind. And so there's a good news to this is these sanskaras keep. Negative sanskaras keep coming up right on the mind. It could be any of the negative things that we are dealing with. You know, the way we talk to ourselves, self sabotaging patterns. All of these are negative sanskaras, actually. And so what happens is when we decide to transform in this case, right? Oh, let's talk about necessary samskaras. So necessary samskaras or necessary impressions would be how to drive, how to cook, how to, you know, let's say do banking or whatever, whatever necessary things that we need for life. And then there are good impressions also. Good impressions could be the taste of mango or it could be, you know, my kindness towards people. All of these could be good impressions too, right? But then they are original sanskaras and original sanskaras are innate to the soul. You want to share something about it?
• 11:55
  Speaker A: It's very huge topic. It's a big, big topic. Another word for sanskaras is subconscious. It perhaps has slightly different connotations but. But there's a big bank. Big. I like to think of it as like this massive, infinitely huge library of all of our experiences throughout life. And it's a huge, huge, huge, huge. So everything we've ever experienced is all in the mat. This big library which we don't know about because it's underneath subconscious or unconscious means it's underneath the level of our conscious awareness. We're not aware of it directly. It's only when it comes up out of the unconscious or from the sanskaras up, then we notice what is going on. And I just wanted to come back to. This is a very, very big topic. I wanted to come back to this mango idea. There's a psychological principle called mere exposure effect. And apparently the reason people end up liking pop songs is when they first hear the song, they actually don't like it. They're like, what the hell? This is another cheesy pop song. I don't like it. But they keep playing it again and again and again and again and again and again and again. And after they've heard it like 40 times, they're like, this is kind of like, you know, I can get into this because it's, they get used to it after a while and that's a slightly strange situation to be in. Like with the mangoes. That's a bit of an odd situation where you didn't like it, but, but just because of mere exposure, there's a certain tipping point where you said, you know, I quite like this. And that's probably why we can either get into good or bad habits. You know, like, I've started having cold showers after my warm shower, which, which some people think is a shocking thing to do. And I thought it was a shocking thing to do. Oh my God, it's so cold. I don't want to be in the cold water. But actually now I.
• 13:54
  Speaker B: Let's not talk about who thinks it's.
• 13:56
  Speaker A: A shocking thing to do about cold showers. No, no, no, let's not get into cold showers. But they're good for you, right? If you have a cold shower after a warm. But anyway, but this is an example of mere exposure effect. Like first time you do something, you don't like it, second time you still don't like it, don't like it, don't like it, then you get used to it. And so we, we kind of like to repeat what we, what we're doing because we're comfortable doing the same thing over and over again. So a lot of these things, there was a point where we weren't exposed to any of these things at all. So that we didn't have the sanskara because we didn't have the experience, but so that, so when it comes to the original sanskaras versus the more recent ones, the more recent ones obviously are more recent because we didn't have the experiences until recently. But if you go back in time, back, back, back, back before all this other stuff was programmed into us, there are certain samskaras or certain states of being that predate everything else. And this is one of those like age old questions, are we innately good or innately evil beings? And different religions have different opinions about this. But what we, what we understand is that the original state of the soul before all the programming is love. Infinite love, peace, joy, bliss, purity. So if you got, if you got all the old sanskaras or the programs and scars out of the way and went back to the beginning, before we were programmed, we would just experience divine joy and light and peace, and that would be all it was. Wonderful thing.
• 15:43
  Speaker B: What a wonderful thing. Yay. Right? So. So going back to spiritual muscle memory, right? So these negative samskaras are the most recent spiritual muscle memory. That's what is spiritual muscle memory. We did it so many times, like the mango. Like, I did it so many times that I created a memory of it. And then I started liking it, and then now I can't. I'm looking forward to every summer when the mango season comes around, because I love mangoes, right? And so it's like a habit we have created. And so because we have created a spiritual muscle memory around it, like you were saying about negative habits, right? Even though I haven't done them for a while, then, you know, like, alcoholics will tell you about it. Like, one too many thousand not enough, right? Like, they'll think, oh, they'll just take one drink and then it's thousand is not enough. Because they are activating a muscle memory inside. And so in the same way, for transformation to happen, we can activate our original sanskaras. And like you were saying, right? Our understanding is that originally we are pure, peaceful, loving, wise, powerful beings. That's our original nature. And so now that all of these. All of these more recent negative sanskaras, like fear and anger and laziness and arrogance and ego, and all of those are more prominent in the soul right now, right? They are upper. They're coming up because they're actually, maybe some of them are even above the subconscious. They're in the conscious. But now, deep down in the subconscious, we have these original, pure sanskaras. We don't have have to acquire them from somewhere else. So let's take love, right? So love actually is a very deep original memory embedded in the soul. That's why we all want love, right? That's why we all want these things. Like, no one is sitting here thinking, oh, I don't want peace, I don't want love. I mean, if you're a masochist, yes, but otherwise, no, I mean, that's very unusual case. But everyone wants love, everyone wants peace is because that is their original nature, because they've tasted it before. You know, like, let's take a mango now, right? Because I've had very, very, very good mangoes growing up because we had a farm. When I came to the US I had a shock. I was like, what? No mangoes? And they are so horrible. It was a big renunciation. And so now Living in Florida, we have a lot of mangoes around. Actually, mangoes grow here now. And so when someone tells me they have a mango tree in their yard, I'm willing to drive two hours to go get a mango. Why is that? Right? Why is that? Because there is. I've experienced a good mango, and because I've experienced a good mango, I want to recreate that experience. If I ask someone, oh, you want to eat some weird Brazilian fruit somewhere, right? Like, Brazil has amazing fruit, I heard, which we've never heard of, you would say no, because you've never eaten it before, right? Because you've eaten it before, you crave it. It's the same way with love or peace. Because you've experienced it before. Because it's your orig sanskara, you want it back, right?
• 19:48
  Speaker A: Absolutely. There's. There's certain things that just recur again and again and again. Even though we have all these additional sanskaras, it's like on the baseline is love, peace, joy, freedom, purity. And then there's all this other stuff stacked on the top. But those original sanskaras are still kind of managing their way through some of these things. And coming up, because that's what we all want, right?
• 20:14
  Speaker B: Like, how many times do you feel, oh, like you're going through and I just want a peaceful day. I just want to go sit somewhere and experience some peace. How many of us feel that way? We all do, right? Because that's who we are.
• 20:32
  Speaker A: And when we do feel wonderful, like deep peace or deep love, we like, yes. I feel so good. That's what comes. I feel great, I feel alive, I feel wonderful, you know, because it's a natural state. To me, that's like, that's the proof that when, why is it that when we feel these deep feelings, we feel, we. We in ourselves feel, I'm feeling great, I'm so grateful. I feel great. Whereas when we feel stressed, we don't say, oh, this is great. I'm so pleased about this.
• 21:02
  Speaker B: I know, right? No one's sitting here thinking, oh, let me get some more stress.
• 21:07
  Speaker A: Oh, more stress. Let's see if we can go. We can do to get more stress. But then again, people, some people do.
• 21:12
  Speaker B: Because it's self sauce, because there's self sabotage. No, but deep inside you're not thinking, oh, let me go find stress. But because there is a habit of creating stress, you create more stress. In the same way we can create the habit of feeling love. Let's take love, right? Let's take one samskara, one Spiritual muscle memory. And so what happens with the spiritual muscle memory is that if I have a method, a method for experiencing love, pure love, the romantic kind, that sometimes is good, sometimes not so good, is. I'm talking about just pure love, right? And if I create a method to experience love, then if I experience love even for a few seconds today, then I use the same method and experience it tomorrow. Use the same method, experience it the day after, experience the day after. And let's say I experience love for a whole month, which we should experience love all the time. But in, let's say, for a minute or two minutes each day, I experience love for a whole month and I stopped experiencing it for a year. When I go back to that method, I can experience love like this. So you're actually investing in. You're investing in two things when you create methods for experiencing your original samskaras, right? First, you're investing in your original nature. You're in that. You're actually making time to find out what it is and experience it. That's one which is wonderful at this moment, right? But the other wonderful thing is in the future, anytime I want it, I can go back to the same method and experience it. That is spiritual muscle memory.
• 23:27
  Speaker A: It's money in the bank. Money in the bank right there, right? It's. This is the stuff that stays with us. You know, every. Everything else in our life changes, but ultimately all we're left with is our state of consciousness. When I realized that, it changed my life, actually. Because sometimes we think, you know, having knowledge or having stuff or having whatever it is is kind of like having attainment. And it looks like it is temporarily, but there's going to come a point where all this disappears. And what do we take with us is. Is actually just our sanskaras, because we forget everything. All the knowledge and ideas will be wiped out of our mind. But the sanskaras, the feelings, the state of consciousness is the. Is actually something that we have that we can continue with after we leave the body. So this is. This is actually like the most important thing in life because this is all we got when it comes down to it.
• 24:26
  Speaker B: Absolutely. And it sounds so sad, actually, to think that we don't experience love even for a minute in a day. Even if I decide to experience love for one minute in a day, for the next 30 days, you are giving yourself such a big gift, right? And there is a method. But there is a method for any of these original sanskaras, right? There's a method. There's a method for peace, there's a method for love. Let's talk about love. And so this method of transformation or this method of experiencing love, right? The first thing you have to do, you have to accept that my original nature is love. And the second thing is divine love. Love from the source. Love from the divine is a deep memory embedded in the soul. It's a memory that is embedded in the soul. And that memory is not going anywhere. It's an imperishable memory, right? So I am love. My original nature is love. I am loved. That is, there's a deep memory of love from the divine source embedded in the soul. And the third is my nature is love. So if I remind myself I am a soul, I am love, I take like the purest memory of love I have and really expand it and know that that is the love of the supreme, actually the love of the supreme to the soul, and then share that love with everyone. Even if it's one or two people, just share that love. Then you will see that that is like one minute of experience of love. And you do that every day for 30 days, right? That is such a big gift for yourself.
• 26:45
  Speaker A: It's the best, best use of time. And it, you know, why wouldn't we want to do this, you know, better than feeling stressed out and needy and anxious and worried instead for a month, you know, or a year. So concentration is what leads to this. To just take, take, say I'm. I'm choosing to come into these experiences again and again and again. And we have so many methods about. We, we're sharing methods now, but I mean, our courses and programs, meditations, there's so many methods. And it's important to find something that resonates with you, that works for you, and then just go into that again and again and again and again and again, over and over again, until you can come into that feeling state quite quickly and easily. Because muscle memory comes from repetition. It doesn't just happen by itself. There needs to be a certain number of practices, certain number of rounds. It's not an amount of time, actually, it's how many repetitions. So if somebody does, like, let's say they practice something once a month for 40 years, they might not actually even create muscle memory actually, because there's too much space in between. But if someone does it every day, every hour for five minutes, every hour for like two weeks, then it goes in much quicker because the, the amount of potency is increased. So that, that's what creates these, these experiences in this muscle memory faster is how many times do we repeat something over and over again and then come into the feeling? Because if it's just intellectual, it doesn't do us much good. It needs to go from theory into embodiment experience, where we feel it in our body, in our mind, in the brain, in the heart. Because that the, the soul inside the soul there are the five senses, like the insert internally, we experience everything. So we experience taste, smell, touch, sight and hearing. That's, you know, we can hear things in our mind that aren't, aren't actually in the outside world. So we want to really experience these things very, very deeply over and over and over again, again and again and again and again until it becomes programmed into us. And this isn't really a new program. It might seem like it is, but this is actually returning to an old program that's already there. So this is a fascinating experience. What do you think, Shreem? What's the fastest way to come into this? How long did you recommend our lovely listeners practice something?
• 29:32
  Speaker B: I liked what you brought up dosage, right? Let's say you have an infection, you can't take antibiotic once a month and think the infection will go away, right? There has to be the right amount of dosage for the infection to go away in the same way. Also, like anything, I can't play golf once a month and think I'll be good at it. I have to play frequently to be able to be good at it, right? To create muscle memory. That's what you're sharing. And that's a very important point actually. And so even to experience love, right, it has to be every day, Every day, every day, every day, three, four times a day, three, four times a day. And put a timer, put alarm on your phone and just keep doing it, keep doing it. Because what else is there to life, right? Who in the world feels that they don't want love? Who feels that way? Not cases, some nut cases maybe, but most number of people want love and you can experience it. This is what the whole point of this podcast is. It is actually something very important about this is you're the only one who can give yourself love. Everyone else, yes, they can give love. But if you don't feel self love, whatever that love is will not be enough. And so you want self love first, then receiving love from other people then. Yes, right? Otherwise the love becomes very dependent. Then human beings are human beings. They, you know, poor people, they're going through their own stuff. They have up days, one time, down days, one day. You Know, and then when they have up days, then they love you. When they're down days, they don't love you. And everyone who's gotten into relationships can tell you this, that you know, they, they love you one minute and next minute. Okay, bye, talk soon kind of thing, right? So see ya later. And so all of this is happening with human beings, which poor things don't expect too much, right? What this is telling you is not that love is bad, right? What this is telling you is you're getting your love from the wrong sources and that there's an infinite source of love inside you and your connection to the divine, to the source, to the supreme, then there is love. Then you can have an experience of love. That's what it's telling you not to get from here here and think, oh, but I've been so badly damaged in love, I don't trust this and that, right? Not excuse, this is something we can connect with the supreme and it's a deep memory inside, right? That spiritual muscle memory, once you start activating it, it is so wonderful. What else is there to life, right? If like, if you come down to it, Come down to it, come down to it, come down to it. People do things only for one or two reasons, right? They want security, they want love, they want peace, they want happiness. That's it. Like if you like, you ask someone, why do you want this? Why do you want this? Why do you want this? Right? I mean, take out the ego, but the pure essence of it would be these four or five things.
• 33:18
  Speaker A: Right?
• 33:19
  Speaker B: And if you can experience these four or five things without running around and you know, you know, working so hard and you know, getting into self sabotaging relationships and this and that, wouldn't it be fun then, right? Then whichever relationships you can get, you get into will be wonderful. Because you've learned to love yourself. You've learned that there is a big volcano inside of you of love and that you've accessed the volcano and now you can share it with everyone.
• 33:54
  Speaker A: Yeah, self sovereign, because we're not needy of things. I think it's worth considering if someone's like, I don't know, like where to go with this is that ask what are your most important focuses right now in your life? You know, whether it's your work or your relationships or health or whatever, whatever, right? What is it that you want? Like practical things. And then ask yourself, why do you want that? And then why do you want that and why do you want that and why do you want that? So like, if Someone says, I want money. You say, okay, why do you want money? Well, because I need to buy all the stuff. Why do you need to buy the stuff? So that I don't have to worry about things. And why do you not want to have to worry about things? Because I don't like worrying. Because I want to be relaxed. And why do you want to be relaxed? Because I want to feel deep peace. Right? Any of these things, it comes down to either love, peace, joy, freedom, security, bliss. So just ask yourself, you know, why do you want the things you want, come to the bottom level of what it is, and then think, how can I experience that thing, that experience, which is actually there anyway, underneath everything, over and over and over again for two minutes at a time, for a month? Because that's actually the whole point of all this other hard work that we're doing. And we might as well just get to the point and cut all the nonsense out.
• 35:14
  Speaker B: Absolutely, Michael. Absolutely. And it doesn't cost anything. That's the good news. No one's asking you to go to a $5,000 paid retreat to get this. No one's asking you to, you know, transfer this much money or give five days of your time or, you know, sell your firstborn or whatever it is that people want these days. Right? No one's asking you any of that stuff. Just sit down and experience it. I'm telling you as your big sister, just do it.
• 35:51
  Speaker A: Yeah. So listen to the meditations. Like, hey, my someone, I can imagine people think, well, how am I supposed to do this? If I already could experience love, I would have done it already. We have loads of meditations. We have loads of methods. If we. If they're not clear enough and they're not working or you don't know where they are, you can let us know in the comments because we have loads of stuff, and we'll put a link to everything, and we can create stuff. We can pick. We. All we do is create things all day long. So if there's anything missing, we have. Literally, we have hundreds of meditations, and they're all about coming into these feelings. And we also have methods and drills and all these things. So the way to go is, is we have to choose something that we like. Like, there's no point choosing a method or a meditation that you're not into because it's not going to work. So if you have 100 meditations to choose from, find the one that you like the most that does the job for you, and then just do it again and again. And again and again and again until you experience the feeling state. And then you can bask in that wonderful feeling. And then just keep doing it again and again and again till it becomes a very strong muscle memory. A strong saskara.

  Speaker B: Yay for muscle memory. Right? So it's a whole method of transformation, this whole that you find a method of transformation, find a method of experience and just keep experiencing it. And you have tapped into spiritual muscle memory.
• 37:26
  Speaker A: Hooray. Ease and grace. Good job. Yeah. Just one last one story. I'll just finish with a funny story that I wrote about this years ago in one of my books that on this topic that when I was, Before I had a spiritual awakening when I was a teenager, when I was like 17 or something, I used to have. I needed money, right? Because I didn't have any money and my parents gave me some, but they wanted me to work. So I had the habit of working and not expecting to get things right. So I had to get a job. And so I worked in a kitchen, which I didn't like because it was an easy job, washing dishes. And because I didn't like my job, I needed money. But so I got a job and I didn't like my job. So I would spend the money that I earned on cannabis, marijuana, right? And then when I got back from work, because I wasn't happy about the fact that I had to go to work, I would smoke cannabis in the evening, which basically was just spending all the money that I just earned on the job. So I, I had to smoke weed because I didn't like my job and I needed money because I didn't like my job to buy the weed, right? Do you see? This is like a very nasty, vicious cycle, right? So then just. But this is like, this sums up like so many people's lives right here. So then when I had a spiritual awakening, I realized that I could just feel peace and love for free. Just like that. So then I remember one time I was lying down at, on in the. Going to bed, like on Friday night, at 8 o' clock at night or something instead of going out drinking or whatever I would normally be doing. And I was. I feel so good. I feel so much love, so much peace, divine love and peace coming into me and I thought, I don't need anything. So then I quit my job, right? Because I didn't need to work because I didn't need to buy the stuff to do the thing to do this. Then the other. Do you know what I mean? So think how much money you can Save if you just get to the point how much time and energy. It's just like get straight to this point.

  Speaker B: Oh wow. You know, all I can see in this story, Michael, is how different your childhood was from mine.
• 39:43
  Speaker A: Sh wasn't allowed to go out working in restaurants and smoking weed.
• 39:47
  Speaker B: Oh God, no way. I grew up in a very strict South Indian household. Yeah, very strict. Well, if I was, if I was, if I. If I was supposed to come home at 5:30, right. And if I came home at 6:00', clock my dad would be pacing up and down in the balcony. Half an hour. I mean it's not even like, it's like 10 o' clock at night, right? I mean 5:30 to 6 o'.
• 40:17
  Speaker A: Clock. Yeah, well, I used to come home at probably one in the morning after my shift. The restaurant, you know. But anyway, we all have different experiences and we get where we need to go in our life. What a wonder.
