And here.

So master woke up in the morning,

Called his two disciples and they have become a seeker.

They have become seekers and he told one of his seekers,

One of his disciples that I had a wonderful dream.

Let me tell you.

Sit down.

So the seeker said,

Let me grab a glass of water for you.

He called another disciple.

He said the same question.

Oh,

Let me tell you.

I had a wonderful dream yesterday night.

You know,

That is how we talk.

Wonderful or dread dreams.

Another seeker said that let me grab you a cup of coffee.

They never returned,

Neither with a glass of water,

Nor with a cup of coffee.

Nor with a cup of coffee.

So the master went outside and he hugged both the seekers because he wanted to test whether they are seekers or not.

And he realized that they both are the seekers.

Why?

Dream is false.

Dream does not exist.

How many times we live our life like this?

You can play.

Oh,

You had a wonderful dream.

Let me come and sit.

But don't give a value to it.

Let the science work on physiology of dream,

Biochemistry of dream,

Neurophysiology of dream,

Psychology of dream.

But we are 100% clear that dream is not true.

Dream is false.

Dream is only realized by a dreamer.

Dream cannot be realized by a waker.

Are you getting it?

Say yes.

Dream cannot be realized by a waker.

He has some impressions.

Let these impressions be there.

What is the message?

Message is that we have to live mindfully.

What it means?

We are aware of the false.

Now,

Because I'm laying a foundation for the next metaphor,

So I have to make you understand a couple of things.

It is being repeated in a different way.

So we are aware of the false,

Real and unreal.

Now,

You all are very much clear about the false,

Which appears true,

But it is not true.

Play with the false as the false plays with us.

Don't allow the mind to get obsessed,

To start craving.

So the master was testing.

That is how in ancient days,

Those masters used to check and examine whether you have become a seeker or not.

Play with the false while real always remains together.

Give you some more example.

Oh,

You are crazy.

Play with that word craziness.

Very good.

Something happened.

Play with that word craziness.

You don't see me.

It's okay.

There is something happened.

Let me see.

Yeah,

It is.

Everything is okay.

But you all hear me.

You all hear me.

That's good.

Yeah,

What you get by looking at me,

The beard guy,

Old guy.

So it's better to,

Yeah,

There is some issues happening in my computer,

But if you are listening,

That's okay.

So that brings us to a understanding what exactly is the difference between the knowledge and the practice.

So when we live with the discernment and dispassion,

The knowledge awakens.

The value of transformation by knowledge,

Or you can say by non-practice,

Is greater than the value of the change that takes place by practice.

That is what we are understanding.

The value of the change that takes place by practice.

That is what we are understanding.

Any discernment and dispassion is always real that comes from the knowledge.

It becomes a non-practice.

Does not mean that we should leave the practice until we are the highest level of a seeker.

Who is the highest level of a seeker?

His mind plays with the discernment and dispassion all the time.

That is why I narrated the first story.

Knowledge is understanding supported by discernment and dispassion leads to awakening and realization.

Practice means purifying the mind so that it can understand,

Bring clarity.

The mind becomes qualified.

That is basically the case.

You must have heard about Alexander.

You know why I always use the word,

Oh you are awfully busy.

Very good.

So what is that meaning?

I will use another metaphor which is a real story.

Alexander the Great,

He was on a spree to win over the world.

Very good.

So the Dionysus,

Perhaps his captain.

So he said,

What you will do after you win over the world?

What?

Oh I have never thought of it,

Alexander said.

But if you win over the entire world,

Then there is nothing to win.

Alexander started thinking.

So Alexander responded,

I will take rest after winning over the world.

Dionysus said,

Why don't you take rest now?

Is someone blocking you not to take rest?

Not to be restful?

Not to be mindful?

We are awfully busy.

We are running and running and running in this.

Keep on running.

This journey of running will never be complete.

One desire will be replaced by another desire.

One issue will be replaced by another issue.

One problem will be replaced by another problem.

One pleasure is replaced by another pleasure.

This running will never come to an end.

And this you running cannot be stopped by any practice.

It can only be stopped by understanding.

It can only be understood by knowledge and understanding,

Discernment and dispassion,

My friend.

So Alexander said,

I'm already on the journey to win over the world.

So let me win over the world.

And then I will take rest.

Why don't you take rest now?

So what is that restfulness?

That state of the restfulness has nothing to do with performing outer activities in my personal,

Professional,

Social life.

It has to do with the state of my mind.

Are you getting it?

Just hold for a minute.

Let me see.

You see,

This is the knowledge and understanding.

I said,

Let me refresh.

I'm visible now.

Are you getting it?

We are in this journey on Saturdays.

It is by knowledge and understanding we can,

You can,

We can reach to.

Yes,

Yes,

I got it.

So it is by knowledge and understanding we can reach to that state of mindfulness.

It will appear that you are busy,

But internally that state of the mind.

What about the state of the mind?

It is free.

It is enjoying.

So when you ask one who has realized,

One who has realized the highest state of mindfulness,

How his mind works,

Outside he will appear very busy.

Inside he knows there is nothing to do in this world.

There is nothing to do in this world.

So he stops running.

He or she,

You know,

He stops running.

So you stop running then if there is a crash on the road so you don't save yourself.

No,

You save yourself.

I'm talking about the state of the mind.

Don't give wrong interpretation.

In an ordinary,

Yeah,

Yeah,

My master used that word,

I remember.

One day I told my master,

You are an extraordinary master.

He said,

Stop this nonsense.

When you reach to the highest state of mindfulness,

You become an ordinary person.

The moment you are an extraordinary,

It is because of your ego.

You live your life.

That's good.

You think and speak and act outside,

But inside you have that state of the mind.

What is that state of the mind?

You have nothing to do in this world.

I'm not giving a class.

Yes,

I'm giving,

But internally you live into that state so that your mind is not confused,

Obsessed,

Attached.

It does not,

It does not get carried away by the enemies that we are covering on Mondays and Thursdays session.

My friends,

It's very easy.

It demands only an understanding,

An understanding that is supported by the discernment and dispassion.

But now,

Because the real self is a pure consciousness,

It is not an entity.

It is not an object.

It is not an object.

So any object has a name in the form.

So it is very easy to understand any object with the name in the form and the science is very,

Very clear about it.

But because the pure consciousness is beyond the name in the form,

It is independent,

It is all-pervading,

It is self-luminous and we are on a journey to find that real self.

So only the metaphor,

Different similes helps us to awaken to that wisdom.

So that is why this master uses the metaphor,

The symbol,

Image,

Comparison,

Assembly.

You can say that.

Do you remember the metaphor of a spider?

It's just nothing but the real self,

The metaphor explaining creation and imminence that of a spider,

Which spins out the threads,

The silken thread from its own body.

And that is what we are understanding that how from that pure consciousness,

The world of name and the form and the differences and the duality have manifested.

But why should I understand?

You guide me just mindfulness.

Because when I understand,

Then mind will not invite the impurities in the mind.

You know,

Mind will not invite the impurities.

Mind will not invite the duality in a conflict.

What it means?

What you are doing?

Nothing,

Doing nothing.

When the mind knows that it has to do nothing,

It is always resting.

It always lives into that state.

And master says,

Knowledge is the only way that gives you understanding.

First step of the knowledge is listening and learning.

Second step is you have to contemplate and reflect.

When I say the mirage water is false,

I have to check what are the other stuff in my life is false.

Is husband false or true?

Is wife false or true?

I gave the examples of earth is stationary,

Highways is running out.

So now I have to check it.

Do I see body is real or false?

If you say the body is real,

You have a pain.

Then even a little pain makes you cry loudly.

Don't talk to me.

I am already in physical pain.

What it has to do with your talking?

You know,

We have to apply that.

That is why the metaphors are used.

And that's where we can validate in our life when the Buddha says the world is suffering.

No,

No,

Come on.

This world is full of all kinds of pleasure.

That's why I'm running in this world.

That's why I'm that's why I'm airfully busy.

So I have to recognize which world that is created by my mind based on attachment and detachment,

Based on the desire,

Greed and anger,

Based on ego and the selfishness.

That world is false.

And in that world I'm running.

I don't appreciate the beauty of this world.

I go on vacation and there I am in a lot of stress.

What is the fun of going on vacation?

I can give you hundreds of examples.

People talk to me.

So I got those.

I was on a vacation,

You know,

With my soulmate and I had a lot of problems.

So I had to cancel the ticket.

So I returned three days before the vacation.

I get from people in us.

So I said that's good.

So when the Buddha says this world is suffering because of limitations I feel in my mind and that limitation manifest in insecurity,

In unhappiness,

In dissatisfaction.

I just give you an example of this couple,

You know,

This soulmate.

By the way,

I was just talking to perhaps Stephen or someone else here that,

You know,

Normally for animal kingdom we use the word mating.

Isn't it?

So yesterday I got this understanding.

Oh,

Mating animal kingdom and when we use the soulmate,

What it means?

Is it possible?

Soul is a non-entity.

It is a consciousness.

So that's why I use the words soulmate and soulmate.

Now I'm making,

You know,

We are just understanding that how this metaphor,

The next metaphor which has this metaphor is only used by this master.

Perhaps he discovered this master.

How he discovered?

It was revealed into his highest state of awakening and realization.

That is what happens.

That is what is going to happen with you and that is what happens,

What is already happening with you in many cases,

In many events.

We are not separate from those great masters.

So the first metaphor now come to that understanding.

The first metaphor canvas,

Pure consciousness.

Then the second stage,

The causal stage and that causal stage is,

We did not discuss in detail.

We are going to,

No,

Causal.

Subtle stage is the reflected consciousness.

It is the mind and that mind,

The world lives in the mind,

The painting.

Because I sketching,

I did the sketching on the canvas.

So it means I did the sketching on the consciousness because of my preferences,

Likes and dislikes.

That is how I created the world.

So that is what we have understood before.

Now pay attention with that understanding.

He is using a,

He is using a different metaphor.

I have to get it corrected after the session.

Let us see whether the computer God will allow us to continue and complete the session.

So everything is God.

At individual level,

What,

Who is individual?

Body,

Breath,

Mind,

Intellect,

Supported by the ego as one entity is known as the personality.

That personality has a real self.

That is known as the individual.

Because if we don't have the consciousness,

We normally talk about the personality is the sum of body,

Mind,

Breath,

Intellect,

Plus attitude,

Behavior,

Emotions.

That is how the science explains.

But without an entity consciousness,

I cannot be an individual.

Clear?

First stage.

This is at the micro level.

Micro level?

So what is at the macro level?

So that macro level is known as the God.

Cosmic mind,

Cosmic body of five elements.

We also have five elements.

They have the air and the space and etc.

We are just,

We are understanding directly and then we will go to the metaphor.

So I thought better to start directly that how this metaphor is created.

So we have two entities.

The individual level is not the real self.

The real self plus reflected consciousness is equal to individual.

Clear?

Now the real self.

Now that the same real self or the same consciousness plus maya,

The grand illusion,

The grand reflected consciousness,

The grand cosmic mind is the God.

It is known as Ishwar.

Ishwar might be saying that,

You know,

Don't teach me.

I have been praying God for so many years.

Did you understand the two?

Two entities,

One at the micro level and other at the macro level is this.

Now what about the real self?

So real self without the reflected consciousness is one entity.

So when we say the real self with the reference to an individual,

It is real self.

When we use the word real self with the reference to the entire universe,

It is the supreme consciousness.

So we have two reflected,

Two false entities and we have so-called the two real entities.

I'm repeating again.

Macro level,

Micro level.

That I think everyone understands that.

Don't tell me,

You know,

I'm more intelligent than you.

I agree with you.

So an individual level means body,

Breath,

Mind,

Intellect,

Specific attitude,

Behavior,

Emotions,

Plus consciousness.

That is indivisible.

You are an indivisible,

I'm an indivisible,

Everyone.

Even this is an individual at micro level.

What about its macro level?

So you have already understood that we use the cosmic mind.

It's a reflected consciousness.

So the cosmic mind should have a physical entity like us.

We already have the entire universe with the five elements.

Same with the five elements here.

Or you can say even with a carbohydrate protein,

According to the science,

They came from the same universe.

So two entities and now the two real entities.

When I say consciousness,

I'm not talking about the mind.

When I say consciousness in me,

It is real self.

When I say consciousness in the entire cosmos,

It is supreme consciousness.

You got it.

Both are same.

They are essentially one.

And when they are essentially one,

Then what it means?

When I recognize and understand that I'm the supreme consciousness,

Will the mind be running after the impurities?

That is known as awakening.

Because when I say that real self is nothing but the same consciousness,

Same,

It is one.

It is not two different entities.

You have a tsunami outside.

So you have also tsunami in the body.

Just think,

Terry.

Don't think that only you have tsunami in your body.

We all have tsunamis at different times.

No,

No,

No.

We all have tsunamis.

Understand this.

So now how he explains,

We will understand that what metaphor he gives.

Now think of it.

This is a pot space and the space outside.

Pot space,

Space outside.

Two things.

So we have used the four,

The individual reflected consciousness,

Macro level reflected consciousness,

Real self at the individual level,

Supreme self at the cosmos level.

So with that understanding,

I started with how the metaphor is conceived.

So now what exactly is the metaphor to make us understand pot space,

Infinite space?

Two entities in that pot space.

It is a space inside the pot and because the space is there,

Now you fill the water.

So there is a water space and that water space,

Now water is such a medium that reflects the cloud.

So there is a cloud space also.

Because of these,

There are a lot of confusions that where is the God,

Where is the individual self,

What is the spirit,

What is the soul?

All these doubts are clarified by this metaphor.

And that is why I gave you this,

The essence of this metaphor.

Individual level reflected consciousness plus.

So I may have a different body,

I may have a different gender,

I may have a different relationship,

But we all are individuals.

And the same thing applies to the entire universe at the macro level.

Consciousness plus,

It has its body,

It has its mind,

It has its intellect,

It has its ego.

So they all are known as,

It is known as the delusion.

Delusion here at the individual level,

No delusion at the individual level,

Delusion at the macro level.

Third is the moment I talk of the real self,

I'm talking at the individual level.

The space outside and the space inside the pot is the same.

You told me,

You all told me,

It cannot be divided.

Oh,

It cannot be divided.

So real self,

When I say pot space,

Supreme self,

When I say the infinite space without the pot,

Four entities.

So this master ultimately helps us to realize there is only one pure consciousness.

So he used the example of the space,

Pot space,

Now you have to think of it,

Contemplate and reflect.

Pot space,

Infinite consciousness,

Infinite space outside.

Pot space,

Infinite space,

Pot limited.

Pot limited the space inside the pot.

Consciousness is limited by the body,

Enclosed body.

It appears limited,

But it is not.

So we are using the word,

Where is consciousness all pervading?

Then now come to the water space.

So the space is reflected in that water of a pot.

So water becomes a medium,

As the mind becomes the medium.

So then the cloud is reflected in that water.

In that pot,

We have two spaces.

One is the pot space,

Another is the cloud space.

We live with that confusion all the time,

With that duality all the time and that causes the problem.

Let me give another reference and then we will.

Real self,

Pot space,

Absolute consciousness or real self or you can say the supreme consciousness.

Because we know that the space inside the pot and the outside is only one.

The moment I see that consciousness with reference to the pot,

With reference to the body,

I'm an individual.

When I see with reference to the infinite space,

I am.

I am identifies with the body.

I am drops the identification,

Done.

Whereas then what I said,

God at the macro level,

Individual at the what we do normally.

Once we clearly understand,

You have already understood that concept of negation.

So we negate what is reflected consciousness.

This is body.

Now body is conscious.

How can you say it is not?

So I can negate body is a matter.

Same with the entire world that is seen outside is matter.

It is the material world.

Who supports that?

It is the consciousness.

The way this entire universe lives into that infinite space.

Same way the consciousness is there at the cause.

This continues at the individual level.

Individual level,

David and Stephen are two entities.

Let me again give you an example.

But with the reference to the real self,

It is only one real self.

How can you say that?

One pot space,

Another pot space.

This space is the same.

Space is the same.

My mind is going somewhere.

So let me complete that and then we will continue with that next time.

So where my mind is going?

I lost it.

Let us start our non-practice with reference to.

So what is the non-practice?

Eyes are closed.

I have never told you to sit in a particular as first posture.

Nothing in Saturday's session.

You should be very clear.

Eyes are closed.

Very good.

We are doing nothing.

I already explained it is the knowledge alone can lead us to that state of awakening or so called whatever the word you want to say.

Body is adjusted,

Aligned,

You are aware.

I've been using you're doing nothing.

And so when I say you're doing nothing,

I use the term being comfortable.

And then I say that become aware of neck joint.

It is an awareness.

Awareness is everywhere.

I am pointing you out to be aware of the neck joint.

That is understanding.

That is not a practice.

And then I say aware of sensation,

Comfort and steadiness.

And then I say there's space.

Space is awareness and awareness of space.

I also use the phrase that is why the teacher is required.

I told you before also because the language is linear.

Instructions are linear.

Wanted to find out the multi-dimensional,

Independent,

All-pervading consciousness.

So I have to use the same in linear language,

Same alphabets.

So when I say move the mind within,

Look at the shoulder joints,

Move within,

Experience sensation,

Comfort and steadiness,

That moving within is basically a rising consciousness that you cannot explain in language.

And then you move into this space.

So when I say you are moving inside,

Moving inside does not mean that you are moving inside the body and looking into the skeleton and the blood.

One guy a couple of months told me that this is what I am seeing.

No,

You are imagining.

We do not practice.

We are aware.

Awareness of the entire body.

We are just aware.

Awareness of the body.

You are dealing with an individual.

What is that individual entity?

And what do you find?

You find the awareness permeates everywhere.

My goodness,

It's a surprise.

The way the space permeates inside and outside.

I'm using the same metaphor.

Oh,

That is why you say aware body,

Aware sensation,

Comfort and steadiness,

Aware space.

And then what I said?

Space is awareness.

Awareness is space.

They are not two entities.

Oh,

That is with that clarity.

Space is awareness and awareness is space.

Why didn't you tell me before?

No,

It cannot be told before.

It will not work.

Look at it.

I'm just giving you a glimpse of where this master is taking us to.

So when I say be carefree,

Free from all the cares.

Who does the care?

The mind.

What is mind?

Mind is the reflected consciousness.

This is the understanding.

You are not doing a practice.

Pay attention.

It's a non-practice.

You have to be 100% clear.

If you have any doubt,

You can raise that question.

Carefree,

Free from all.

So I said being carefree.

I don't say become carefree.

When I say become carefree,

Then obviously we need to practice.

Free from the cares of the mind.

Mind cares.

Oh,

Mind cares.

Oh,

What is this mind?

Reflected consciousness.

Mind says I'm disturbed by noise coming from outside,

For example.

It is the mind saying,

Not the awareness.

Noise does not disturb me intentionally.

Better to understand why the noise is disturbing so-called me.

Do you know why?

Mind is projecting that disturbance in the mind itself.

The noise has no role.

That is where the wandering mind comes.

That is where the thought comes and goes away.

Oh,

Confused?

No,

Need not to be confused.

That is what,

You know,

We deal with removing the confusion and the doubt.

And that I simplify.

Thoughts are coming and going.

What did I say?

Unwanted,

Unwelcome thoughts.

Lane one.

So when they come and go,

You are simply aware.

What is that awareness?

Is the lane two.

This is what I explain differently.

So the moment you are in the lane two,

You have a sense of discernment.

You are an observer.

Oh,

You are an observer.

I told you the only problem,

The greatest barrier is the language,

Is the linear.

And that linear language wants to understand the multi-dimensional all pervading beyond name and form consciousness.

So the metaphor and so these principles are.

Go back lane one.

Lane one.

Unwanted and unwelcome thoughts are there.

Okay,

Let it be there.

So the intellect,

You are aware lane two.

So because you are understanding,

You are aware,

So the mind is not projecting that unwanted thoughts are creating problem to me.

Thought as such is a matter.

In the book it is written,

You are crazy.

So that does not affect me.

See that?

So that is lane one.

It is not conscious entity.

Oh,

So the moment you are in the lane two,

It also reflects the lane three,

That is calmness,

That is the peace.

Because you don't see that you are running.

You see the mind is running.

The mind is the reflective consciousness.

It only demands an understanding,

Not a practice.

My master used to say that you do not try to force to get out of the home from the wall.

You are aware.

Oh,

Here is a door.

Let me get out.

Many unwanted,

Unwelcome thoughts are there.

Then what?

Your mind is not projecting that any thought which is only a matter is not,

Cannot,

Has no power to disturb you.

So when I recognize that,

There is no question that any thought will disturb me.

But the moment I recognize opposite,

I have a wandering mind.

I cannot control what practice I should need.

One aspect and second aspect is that now there is no resistance.

Because that projection is not there.

No reaction.

You simply know you are aware.

Whether the noise is projected,

Being projected in the mind,

Whether honey with some ideas is being projected in your mind,

In your relationship,

Or everywhere.

Now again,

I'm using the linear language.

So you have to take it meaningfully based on these principles.

What you're going to say now?

Be silent,

Do nothing.

It is the time to say nothing,

Do nothing,

Speak nothing.

Who?

You as a seeker.

What are you saying?

But mind is wandering,

Have thoughts coming and going.

That is what I just told you.

You are standing across the road,

Lane two,

Watching the traffic,

Lane one,

Experiencing the lane three.

If your mind says,

I did not confuse you,

You are already there.

But if your same mind,

You see the same mind saying,

Am I here to confuse you?

What is this?

This is discernment.

And with that discernment comes the discretion.

I'm repeating again.

It is the time to say nothing,

Do nothing,

Speak nothing.

No,

No,

Hold on.

My mind is wandering.

No,

It has thoughts,

It has feelings,

It has images.

I understand.

But do you understand it is nothing but standing across the road,

Lane two,

Watching lane one is the traffic and aware of calmness and peace at the same time.

I have already,

You have already understood the mental highway,

Three lanes.

Now see,

Do you need to do anything?

Answer is no.

Because you are settled in the lane two,

Supported by the discernment and discretion,

Is not projecting.

So mind fails to project anything.

Mind fails to project pleasure or a pain with reference to the thoughts that are entering into your mind,

Unwanted and unwelcome.

You are free.

How do you see that,

Lane three?

How you are free when you are standing across the road and watching the traffic?

Aren't you free?

Yes,

I'm free.

But that is physical.

No,

This also applies here.

This also applies here.

Am I doing anything?

No.

Do I have an urge to do something?

Impurity.

Do I actually need to do anything in this world?

No.

No running.

Then what?

My mind is always free.

Always free.

The ignorant mind says it is not at all possible.

At least you have to treat the path,

Realize that state.

Then only you can challenge.

That is what is happening in listening and learning,

Contemplation and reflection.

In the purest state of the mind or you can say the highest state of discernment and dispassion,

There is one consciousness,

There is one perception.

So what happens?

We just see,

Perceive,

Know and aware.

Practice does not transform.

Knowledge transforms the mind.

Unwanted,

Unwelcome thoughts.

Again,

I'm using the same word,

Two words.

You are chasing one thought.

It will create a chain of the thoughts and only for the sake of pleasure,

Escaping pain.

It has trillions of impressions of insecurity,

Of dissatisfaction,

Of unhappiness.

That's why they keep on wandering in my mind.

In my mind.

So when I say my mind,

Oh yes,

My mind.

So that mind wants to leave,

Wants to get pleasure,

Then move on to another pleasure,

Then move on to another.

Why?

To escape the pain.

But why?

That makes me live in ignorance.

That causes the suffering.

And that is what I say I am fully busy.

That's what I say I'm running.

So keep on running.

It will not help.

Can I use another metaphor?

I told you,

Metaphor,

One major reason.

Language is linear.

We are discovering the multi-dimensional,

One pure consciousness,

Not a part,

Product and property of anything.

Self-luminous.

What practice we need to do to regulate the traffic on the road.

We move with the flow while discernment and dispassion is always there in our thought,

In our speech,

In our action.

Job is done.

Mind.

Is mind disturbed?

No.

Why no?

If the mind does not project that you are disturbing me,

I cannot be disturbed.

Example.

If the mind is not projecting that any thought is disturbing me,

How dare that thought can disturb me?

Again,

Going back to lane one,

Two and three.

Do you recognize the power of discernment and dispassion?

So do I need to practice discernment and dispassion?

No,

I have to get the knowledge.

I have to understand in the world moment to moment.

No,

Then what is going to happen?

You are just here and now.

You are a state of being.

State of being,

Not state of becoming,

My friends,

Not state of becoming.

State of becoming,

Reflected consciousness,

Mind.

State of being,

Real self.

State of becoming,

State of becoming personality.

State of being real self.

Bring your mind on the right hand.

Your mind on the left hand.

Lift your both the palms.

Place it on your eyes.

Open the eyes and sigh.

We will share our experiences and discuss.

That is what the contemplation reflection is.

How are you,

Stephen?

Why I don't hear you?

I don't hear you.

What happened?

My,

My,

Everything is okay,

But,

But I don't hear you.

Anastasia,

Can you say,

Can you say something?

No,

I don't hear you.

Let me refresh and see that what happens.

My computer guard is not working.

Why it is not working?

This is okay.

This is okay.

And audio default.

Any sound bar is okay.

Push to talk.

Hello,

My voice is working.

No one voice is working.

You see that?

Let me see another testing.

Yeah,

Yeah,

You,

That is the,

That is not the problem.

Default LG sound bar.

Let me see this one.

No,

I don't hear any sound.

Let us see.

Speaker.

I don't know,

But I believe something has happened.

Off device.

Speaker.

Hello.

Yes.

Very good.

So we will,

I hope we will repeat this session.

I am not able to hear.

I have tried.

Our computer guard is,

Hello.

I think computer guard is not working.

So we will meet in the next session.

I will repeat this session.

Thank you.
