44:26 Contentment not coming in meditation and the feeling that everything is pointless and without purpose in life.
46:47 Are we getting actual glimpses of Self Realisation when we experience bliss in meditation?
48:10 Are these glimpses useful for us?
48:36 On the way to Self Realisation, when peace replaces misery and they can accept everything but they still have ego, what does such a being experience?
49:49 In meditation there is stillness and silence, but the yearning or emotion is not there. Am I on the right track?
