karma yoga topic is karma yoga so before entering into the discussion of this topic karma yoga let us do some analysis okay so in this karma yoga there are two words are there one is a karma other one is yoga and we are very clear what is yoga you know the so many definitions about yoga and one of the definition of yoga is yoga that which unites is called yoga this is a basic definition based on the etymology etymology of the yoga world which is coming from the dhaku yuju so now please listen very carefully that which connects is called yoga yoga which unites now what is going to be united so when we say yoga mean that which is going to unite or that which unites is called yoga please listen very carefully i am bringing so technical point that which unites is yoga so the moment when you say unite there should be minimum two things otherwise there is a union that is not union minimum two things so what are those two things one is atma second one is a paramatma individual self and supreme self so union takes place now how this union takes place the method of uniting this individual self with the super himself it can be any method there are some thousands of methods are given in our scriptures joining is called yoga uniting is called yoga so now i am going to take the karma as a method with which i am going to connect my individual self with the supreme self hence it is called karma yoga yoga is a general definition are you able to follow me yoga is a general definition if i am using the tool as a karma it is going to become a karma yoga if i am using the tool as a devotion it is going to become a bhakti yoga if i am going to use the knowledge as a devotion it is going to become the nyana yoga if i use the mantra as a tool it is going to be called mantra yoga yoga now you bring any number of yogas we don't have any problem once when you understand the concept of yoga any number of yogas is not going to be the problem for us that means each person is striving to unite himself or herself to be the paramatma supreme self maybe the different methods we are using according to my nature my swabawa my circumstances i take something as a tool so according to your nature your circumstances you take something else it is like when you want to go to manchester hyderabad from manchester hyderabad some person may take the rtc bus some person may take the train some person may take the lre which is going and some person may take the bike some person may take one's own car depending upon your situation your circumstances your facility your comfort there are so many factors so now we are doing a topic karma yoga where karma is the tool to unite my individual self with the supreme self then it is called karma yoga these are one of the way looking into the topic now please look at one more way when you take the karma what do you mean by karma simply karma means action when i am talking with you it is a karma when you are listening to me it is a karma when you are sitting it is a karma when you are standing it is a karma when you are walking it is a karma so karma means just action now when karma will become the karma yoga is a question because in the society in the world every person is doing something or other thing no one can ever remain without performing any action and you may ask a question sir when i am sleeping i am not performing any action nah sleeping itself is a action hence you are using the word sleeping it is a verb it is not a noun so when you say so i am not doing anything simply sitting the sitting itself is a action or someone says i am not doing anything just i am listening to you that listening itself is a action and your inhalation exhalation is going on continuously which is action your heart is beating continuously which is action so bhagavan sri krishna makes it very clearly not even for a moment no one can be there without performing any action so if that is a situation how can i convert my karma into karma yoga is the topic because karma is compulsory everyone is doing there is no person who can escape from the karma he may say some sannyasi is there he's taken the sannyasa so no karma no sannyasi is also performing the karma sharavanam mananam night so no one can escape from doing the karma now because we cannot escape from this doing the karma so let me change this karma into karma yoga this is a method so that means karma yoga is a very very important as well as very easy because everyone is doing karma you may say oh i cannot listen to the philosophy i am not good in the understanding the philosophy studying the sanskrit and all these things but you are doing so many activities you are working in an office you are doing your business you are taking care of your family you are contributing so many things in the society if you are a mother taking care of your children taking care of your husband and doing the household things if you are a father taking care of your family members your parents your children so karma is inevitable compulsory it has to be done so hence now i am going to change karma to karma yoga i am repeatedly explaining the same thing again and again because this is a very very important topic and very easy to apply in our life that is the reason i am repeatedly repeating again and again knowingly okay and we need to gain the mastery over our senses our mind this is a byproduct it will come by karma yoga now let us do some other discussion so before entering into the discussion karma yoga helps us i will tell the benefits first then we will see what is the karma yoga karma yoga helps us to transform from thomas to rajas and rajasthan wonderful way to transform ourselves from the tamil nadu rajoguna and rajo guna to sattvaguna so that means karma yoga helps us to be a satwik person the satwik personality what is the meaning of the satwik personality the satwik personality will have certain specifications what are those number one this is satwik person is free from likes and dislikes free from the likes and dislikes and the satwik person perceives everything with an equanimity the equal attitude neither attachment nor aversion no dwisha no raga so equally approaches that one there is satwik personality and the one more saturated personality mind will be there always chitta prasada prasada prasad and one more benefit from the karma yoga one will not have the guilty feeling if you are applying the karma yoga as an attitude in your life we will not have the guilty feeling these are the a few benefits of karma yoga okay now let us enter into the discussion of the topic whenever you are performing any action definitely there will be a result newton's third law every action will have equal and opposite reaction which is nothing but our karma siddhanta which is explained in the vedas whatever you soak that you reap if you put the mango seed you will get the mango fruit if you soak the lemon seed you will get the lemon so whatever you soak that you reap or whatever you do that comes back to you if you want to loved by everyone you should love others if you love others others will love you most of the time what do we say no one loves me no one takes care of me no one tells me no one informs me as though you are informing to every person as though you are loving every person as though you are doing the charities too so everyone we are only interested to discuss about our rights not our responsibilities one who understand this karma yoga the shift in the attitude changes instead of discussing about the rights we will be discussing about our responsibilities a father's responsibility is the child's right if the father fulfills his responsibility there is a point to rise the right by the child if the employer fulfills the responsibility implies we need not to go for the rights if the employee fulfills the responsibility employer need not to go for the rights so most of the time we are discussing about the rights what do you mean by discussing about the rights means if i am talking about the my rights that means i am telling about your responsibilities what you should do towards me that is right then what is the responsibility what i am supposed to do to you towards you that is my responsibility we are not interested what we are supposed to do we are only interested what we want what we get you give me these you give me that you are not giving this is you this is my right to get right right right we talk amanda right to speak whatever i want i can speak this is my right as a citizen but if someone else having the same right to speak but you don't allow the other person to speak so please understand so karma yoga is going to be very very important point it will change our lifestyle without changing anything it changes our lifestyle there is a beauty changing the attitude takes place okay so now coming to the point i am going to give one work to all of you just to imagine you need not to do now afterwards you can do just imagine okay now we are at 10 people here i am giving some work and i will tell all of you do that work now itself and you have done the work will all of you will get the same result no is it this is clear to you everyone is clear that we are not going to get the same result wonderfully now i am going to give the same work to you then i will tell each one of you please do this work 10 times at 10 different places everyone yourself doing this work different different places 10 times now my question will you get the same results all the 10 times no so please analyze the situation very very carefully you need to use your buddhi also here when i given a work for all the 10 of you who all the 10 of you are performed the same work and you all came to any conclusion that result is not the same for every person for all the ten of you even though same place the same time but result is different for individual in other situation you are the same person different place different time but the same person you have done the same work and still you says result is not the same all the ten times that means there is something to be analyzed first we have to put a question why when all the 10 offers done the same work same place the same time result is a different question why i am individually i have done the same word it's 10 different places at different times result is different why is the question mark if i am the creator of this karma i should get the same result all the time if the karma itself produces the result so whenever you do that karma it has to be the same result but in our experience in our life it is not so then comes the analysis here comes the enquiry that means that karma itself is not producing the result number one because if itself produces the result whenever i have done that work or whoever done that work result should be same but it is not so that means the karma itself is not producing the result so when karma is not producing the results itself then who is the karma palada next question who is influencing my result who is that karma so there is someone i am not the karma palada but i am having to perform my karma with the three options are there whenever i am supposed to do any karma any action i am having the three options i have given a option to me to do something cartoon i can do it i can say i will not do it i can do it in a different way is there any other option take the example of the cricket so that you can understand better if you are a batsman you are doing the batting in the ground how many options you are having you are having only three options what are the three options when the bowler is bowling either you can hit the ball or you can be clean bold clean volume when the ball is coming you went away clean bolt or you can play it differently maybe the defense are simply touching either you hit the ball or not to hit the ball or play it differently defense these are the only three options given to us now coming to the result so whenever there is a result this result is also having the only three options what are the three types of results number one what i have expected as it is the result is coming the expected result number two more than my expectation number three less than my expectation the opposite results comes under less than my expectation is there any fourth option in the result there is no fourth option there's only three options either expected result are more than expected are less than expected this is the law of nature so now how should be my attitude here bhagavan sri krishna very beautifully introduces the sloka karma whatever i have explained to you just now this is the meaning of this shloka unfortunately many of the translations in the many places the wrong interpretation is given to this sloka because you are in the society let me explain that also what the people say is you can do everything but you should not expect anything just to do don't expect anything no fool can perform any action without expecting the result when you are coming to the class and if i say you just listen to me even though if you don't understand don't bother then why you will come to the class next class anyway i am going to the class even they are not understood anything what is the point of attending the class or you you have to think in a different way i am not able to understand that means i need to prepare more that should be the attitude so bhagavan makes it very clearly means to you you are having the only authority authority in what karmani in the karma itself you arriving the authority karma in authority means you are having the three options that means you don't have the any authority to influence the result you may desire the result i am appearing for the exam i am having the desire that i want to pass i should pass that is my desire if someone is getting the marriage what will be the desire so we will have the happy life is a desire but you cannot influence you can desire for the certain number of marks in the exams to pass but you cannot influence the invisilater you don't have the authority to influence the person who is evaluating your marks that is the idea you are having the authority to perform your work whether to do not to do or do it differently but you don't have the any authority to influence the result because the result will be given to you according to the newton's third law every action will have equal and opposite reaction which is the karma philosophy you will get the result but may not be as you desired but what you deserve whatever you deserve that you get you may not get whatever you desire sometimes you may get the result whatever you desire sometimes you may get the result more than your expectation you are expecting the 75 marks in the exam which is the past marks and you expect oh if i get the 75 percent so i am the past that is good enough for me and you are given the exam and you got the 95 more than expectation or whatever you expected the 75 you got the 75 you have passed or you may get the 55 less than expectation 75 is your expected number of marks you may get the 75 as you expected or you may get more than 75 or you may get less than 75 is there any other option fourth option is there no these are only three options and this result will come to you based on so many factors now let us discuss when i asked you all the 10 of you you are going to perform one work same time same place you all said result is different and individually you are performing the same work different place at different times you said result is different so that means these results are coming to me based on there are so many factors so many situations that's what bhagavan says there are many factors which are influencing the result hence you cannot influence the result but i will give the result depending upon the so many factors what are those factors why my result is different each time why the result is different for all the ten of you now let us discuss the factors number one maybe your mind you are performing the work mechanically but mind mind is somewhere else thinking doing something else and before performing the work and you got a phone call then they said you got a lucky lottery you got some dollars thousand dollars lottery you got so you are so happy you will be doing your work with more enthusiasm and other person he also got the phone and he got a information that some of the near and dear met with an accident so mind is not good so because i have to perform my work here i cannot go there and that person also is doing the work but how is the mind other person is doing the work how is the mind so there are so many other factors and one more factor in your previous life or in the previous days in your prarabdha you have done something and that particular thing is fractified now so that also influences the result you might have done something good for others you help put some people and that is become a punya to you adrushtapala and while giving this exam by doing this work that punya palla is going to favor to you to get the more result or you might have done something wrong to some other people that is stored to give the result and this particular time that result manifest so that manifested wrong result will give the negative impact on your work on your result so there are so many factors are involved to get our result but one thing is sure whatever you do you will get the result but how that result comes depends on so many other factors now comes who is maintaining all these factors so in the modern time we use the word cloud storage have you heard this cloud storage and we are not storing in our system in our laptop or in the external memory these days is a very common word cloud storage among the cloud storage 2gb cloud storage 100 gb cloud storage you buy this particular software you will get the 100 gb cloud storage so you will be given a a user id and passport open the internet and use the user id and password you can able to access all the cloud storage like a gmail provides the 15 gb cloud storage for every one of us free if you want more than the 50 gb you have to pay some money the 15 gb cloud storage is available to you and if you look at the cricketers whenever they win immediately they will look it up look at the sky what do you mean by looking at the sky that means there is a ishvara who is sitting in the sky that is a in conventional way people thinks so is the cloud storage who is maintaining this cloud storage the satellites are maintaining this cloud storage who is that satellite who is maintaining the satellites you say some scientist maintaining the cloud storage when software engineer is maintaining the cloud storage who created this software engineer software engineer created the satellite but who created this software engineer ishwara is the main server he is the main server he is taking care of everything we are having a a character in a mythological store is chitra gupta who is maintaining your accounts he is taking care of your software program who created that software ishwara created that software so hence whatever you do knowingly or unknowingly it is recorded in the software it is maintained in the software no one can escape their internet connection will be there 24x7 in fact ishvara don't require the internet connection 24 by 7 if you cough if you sneeze whatever you do there will be the record you may be thinking no one is watching me let me take this one and eat ishvara is watching you ishvara record already noted sometimes you are not scolding others but in your mind you started scolding records you think oh i am not using the word outside only in my mind i am doing no ishwara reads your mind like a scanning how the scanner will do the scanning like that is scans your mind he maintains the record enters perfect program so based on this perfect programming of ishwara result will come to you [Music] so now what should i do [Music] number one i cannot escape from my work nahi kashi takshinamapi this is very clear point number one point number two i may have the desired result but i cannot influence the result i don't have the authority to influence the result point number two so when these are the two situations are compulsory where we cannot change anything how should be my attitude while performing the work how should be my attitude when i get the results what should be my attitude this attitude towards the work towards the result is it called karma yoga karma is doing you are doing the karma you are not going to be escaped from doing the karma karma is compulsory for us and for every action you are going to get the result that is also compulsory then how should i perform this karma how should i receive that result the perceive that results is the karma yoga which we are going to discuss after the break very very important topic whatever we have done is on your study material only okay now we will be doing above how should be our attitude after the break so before the break if you have any questions here you are welcome to ask or you can discuss anything if you want to say anything you are free to say you can unmute and you can tell we are having another 1 minute 30 seconds yes what should be my attitude towards the work and what should be my attitude towards the results this is a important topic so in the process in bhagavan sri krishna given that two definitions for yoga one is called yoga karma kaushalam the other one is called yoga now let us discuss in general so whatever i am discussing based on this your study material only okay anyway i have to perform my work anyway i have to do my work my karma so hence let me do it perfectly yoga karma the dexterity in the action the excellence in the action so whatever you are doing do it as the best the sharda mata used to say if you are sweeping the floor you sweep the floor as the best person the best sweeper when you are washing the utensils you wash them like a shining mutant cells so whatever you do any work you are doing do your best most of the time how the people will do normal people oh yeah this i have to do it um let me finish in telugu people that means i am not interested in my whole heartedly just i have to do it i am doing because every month i have to get my salary i have to go to the office and do the sign and sit there and come back if they will say without doing the work uh coming to the office you will get the salary means everyone will be so happy so because i have to go so i am going because i have to come i am coming so bhagavan says here because you are doing do it wholeheartedly that is called in the modern times mantra mindfulness people talk these days a lot about the mindfulness do the things mindfulness means keep your mind whatever you are doing because you are attending the class so because i have to attend the class of the attendance is not there so i will not be eligible for the exam so you are attending the class area any way you are attending the class why don't you pay more attention [Music] focus on the class sit comfortably nicely any way you are spending the time is one hour so why don't you take care sit comfortably in one place make the arrangements keep a glass of water if required and a pen and notebook and you do it sincerely or whatever is required so do the best okay i am going to do the best and what should be the attitude in that one doing best is one thing but there is one attitude that attitude is called [Music] i am offering all this thing to you as my puja as my offering so whatever you do offer those things to the ishwara because you have to offer to the ishwara how you should do you should do the best when you are going to a temple and you are you take some fruits to the temple there is a tradition in our indian culture whenever you go to the temple or whenever you go to some elders to meet you should not go with the empty hands it is a tradition it is our indian culture and because now you are going to the temple so you want to take one fruit you are having some fruits in your house so you have to take one fruit which kind of fruit you take to the temple to the offer to the lord that which is a rotten food you will take or among the foods which is the deepest that you pick up will take the best of fruit so that i can offer to the lord so because whatever you offer that you will get back in a return if you love others you will get the love if you hate if you spend the if you hated others if you hate others you will be getting hatred so you take the the best fruit the same way when you are doing with this attitude offering to the ishwara so you have to perform your work as the best now so after the temple you offered the fruit and you did your production you did your archana then afterwards you are coming back from the temple so when you are coming back from the temple what you will get you will get some prasada prasada and how you take this prasadam how you take this whatever may be the whatever may be the prasada given to you what we will do we will take that prasada we touch we offer like this eyes the we express our reverence we we express our devotion to the so you touch and you eat and you are not even bothered about the what is the taste of the prasada how much quantity is given the prasada who is given the prasada sometimes i remember still i remember in the during the vinaigrette this day people are going they used to give the prasada whoever is giving you don't know when they give little attitude the same way whenever you are getting the result from where this result is coming from the ishwara because all your accounts are maintained by the ishwara and depending upon the maturity of your accounts depending upon the other circumstances ishwara is giving that result hence ishwara is giving that result i need to accept that result as a prasada this is the attitude how to develop that is called in the bhagavad-gita [Music] is but still your attitude so you need to maintain your mental status balancingly towards the siddhi and acidity towards the success and failure towards the desire towards the undesired you know what happens with this sometimes you will get the result more than your expectation what do you say not the hero ladies whatever i am doing everything is great so i am so grateful and suddenly something goes wrong you know all the time it happens to me when i was a smile as a child it is happened to me in my marriage also this happened to me when i go to my mother-in-law also it happened to me when i go to my father-in-law also it happened to me in my office although all the time it happens to me depression there are only thing either you will be in anxiety or you will be in a depression in the both the situations in the anxiety as well as in the depression you are not going to use your mind properly it may be the anxiety war enthusiasm or remember the urethra this scientist when he discovered the law of velocity he was taking the bath in the tub he's a naked no dress and the moment the thought came la velocity he's running in the streets without the clothes he's a great scientist saying that eureka are some other scientists there are many scientists great people something goes wrong attempted the suicide there are many iat gold medalists iii gold medalist means is not an ordinary brain super intelligence if something goes wrong suicide attempting the suicide look at the great people look at the bill gates recent story is the world number one richest person what has happened with the family what is the how the relations with the wife so there are so many things recently couple of months ago siddhartha coffee day founder what happened so the either in a depression or in an anxiety if you are a depression people will have the tendencies like a suicide if it is a war enthusiasm let me through the party do you do you lose your rejection so hence balancing your mind in all the situations is very very important if something happens to favor to you ishwara prasada if something is not happen to you okay it does not mean that you stop there so what bhagavan says here from yoga when you are having the ability to accept the situation your mind is available for you to think now the results came more than my expectation you accept then analyze how i got the more than my expected result i think i have prepared well this time i think if i maintain the same day i will be successful in all my future endeavors so let me maintain these things so whatever i have done so let me maintain the same dc plan and the result came opposite to you less than your expectation and you have accept accepted that result okay now uh so i expected the 75 marks but i just i got only the 55 marks where it went wrong let me analyze oh okay this time i have not spent the much time i have not done well prepared so next time onwards i will prepare very well i will take this as a experience as a learning for me so next time i will do my best so mind is available to you so hence yoga with nothing is going to happen in telugu we are having a sam is [Music] so that means you accept the situation then you work on to improve bhagavan never says that you should not improve he says you analyze to analyze you should your mind should be available to you now if the mind is not available how you are going to analyze how you are going to think can you think without the mind so to think the mind should be in a good condition hence so what is the attitude here rasa bhavana so remember what is the karma yoga karma yoga is very simple now number one you cannot escape from doing any work so hence you are doing the work so any way you are doing the work offer that work to the ishwara offering to the ishwara your work itself is offering your work itself is a puja to ishwara hence we say work is worship have you heard this work is worship that means make your work as a worship because i am worshiping the ishwara through my word so hence i should do this work as the best because i am offering to you i am offering to the ishvara the intellect the same be the best any way you are offering you are doing the work you are offering the work do it the best is the regarding towards your actions and there's one more sloka from the bhagavata purana it says [Music] through my my intellect so whatever i am doing i am offering to the ishwar work is worship this is the attitude now when the result comes prasada babanam why i need to cultivate this attitude because results can be three types either expected result are more than expected result or less than expected results so among these three there will be one so hence you accept first with the attitude of prasada so with this what happens takes place our mind will be very calm and quiet and relaxed and you can do the more works you can do the many things and you will be closer to the ishwara with this attitude when you perform your karma when you accept the results this attitude converts your karma into karma yoga if this attitude is not there you will be doing only karma so now tell me to do the karma yoga do we need to give away our families and go to the himalayas do something whatever you are doing if you are a doctor if the patients are coming to you you treat that patient and if someone is coming you are working in a company some customer is coming coming you work with that customer you do your duty sincerely towards that customer that itself is a karma yoga and when you are getting the food when you are going to eat the food do the brahmarpanam oh it is a prasada nothing is going to change my dear friends after this and cultivating this attitude nothing is going to change outside only thing will change in our attitude previously you are eating the food now you eat the same food with an attitude that it is ishwaras prasada how many farmers are working how many people are involved to get this food in my plate right from the farmer to up to the person who served the food how many people are involved in the china look at from the farmer to the mill mill to the the kamali to the shop shop to the seller packing and all these people are involved so just to say thanks oh god i am so blessed you have provided the food today to me observe my dear friends last year in the 2020 and in the 2021 also some periods when there was a lockdown many people had the money with them but some of them don't have the anything to eat money was there so much money is it laksha pradeep w9 but to eat nothing is available is that money are you going to do that so that means even though you worked hard even though you earned the money if the ishwara krupa is not there you won't get the food remember very good lesson we have to understand from the corona even though i am having the money so much money but no food to eat what can i do with this money people are having so much money when they are lying down on the bed not able to get sleep and you lie down on the currency you keep the all the currency on your bed and you lie down will you get the sleep no so what is the point of course money is required for to take care of this body but attitude is more important towards that money towards that work so whatever work you are doing whatever maybe it may be you may be the sweeper you may be the collector you may be the teacher you may be the student implement this attitude make your work as a worship that is a karma yoga and accept the result as a prasada and in this karma yoga there is one important point is there if you can understand where is certainly if you look at one important point is there here that point is recognizing the ishwara all the time is there when you are that means in the karma yoga bhakti yoga is there all the time because without ishwara karma will not become the karma yoga without accepting the ishwara without offering your karma to the ishwara without accepting the result as a prasada from ishvara there is no karma yoga so now what is the karma yoga karma yoga includes the bhakti-yoga devotion is there in the last class we have studied the navavida bhakti nine forms of the god there is a one bhakti is there if you remember like a badass just thinking that the entire is the food of the ishwara feet of the ishwara i am doing the service to the ishwara so now into the karma yoga all the time feel the ishwara presence you need to have the ishara's presence remember you are not away from the ishvara's network 24 by 7 we all are under the ishwaras network other network signals may work may not work but ishwara network all the time works 24x7 like you are having a mobile phone and you say there are no signals and someone else comes with the same mobile phone and that person says yes there is a signals hey you are in my mobile phone there are no signals but in my mobile phone there are signals what does it mean that means your mobile phone is not working properly so because your mobile phone is not working properly hence you are not getting the signals because you are not getting the signals in the mobile phone you cannot say that there are no signals because the other fellow is able to get the signals similarly this replace the mobile phone with your mind if your mind is attuned you will connect with the ishwara ishwara is presented all the time whichever channel you tune that picture comes in your tv the same way you need to tune yourself with the ishwara how can i tune karma yoga is one of the best way whatever you are doing the work offer it to the ishwara it is a tuning whatever the result comes accept it as a prasada it is a tuning so we need to tune ourself recognize the ishvara this is the karma yoga so benefits of the karma yoga you will be free from the likes and dislikes because the likes and dislikes influences our actions i don't like this and i don't do that one so likes and it dislikes all the time influencing our life there are two things are pointed out in the kato punished one is likes and dislikes other one is called what is good what is not good one is called shreyas other one is called praise the prayers is likes and dislikes i like this i want to do it i don't like this i don't want to do it where is the shreyas what is good for me what is not good for me so with the cultivating an attitude of this karma yoga you will be transformed towards the shreyas from the prayers from the prayers we have to move towards the shreyas shrayas is what is good for me ultimately what is good for me that is hence in the bhagavad-gita arjuna says to krishna that you teach me what is good for me so karma yoga helps us to transform our prayers into the shreyas karma yoga helps us to neutralize the likes and dislikes in bhagavad-gita bhagavan sri krishna says there is only one thing you need to do because before the karma yoga in the second chapter in the same second chapter bhagavan says this statement buddhism offering to the ishwara accepting as a prasada this you need to cultivate be free from the likes and dislikes these likes and dislikes can make you anything in your life it does not mean that likes and dislikes i'm not saying that you should not have but instead of giving the preference to your likes and dislikes you give the preference to the what is good for you what is not good for you i'll give an example you will go to your doctor and doctor gives a medicines to you that medicine test is so bitter you don't want to take the bitter doctor doctor i don't want a bitter can you give me the sweet medicine doctor says no for this this is only the bitter medicine no sweet but i don't like the bitter okay if you don't like the winter you suffer with the disease and you suffer with the disease after a few days you will be awake so what you do now even though i
