0:07 People today have an expectation of instant results, what is the importance of patience?
6:14 Do we first need to realise that peace in the mind is what we need?

13:37 "Until the last breath of life, put in efforts"
14:18 How do we avoid comparing ourselves to others?
15:37 Do we judge others in a wrong way due to our mental habits? Do we need to restrain ourselves to avoid further indulging these thoughts?
20:34 Is patience still necessary for a Yogi or is it effortlessly there?
22:12 Is every action of a Yogi for the benefit for the student?

44:29 A family member is suffering from health problems. Can Babaji speak about the acceptance of destiny in this regard?
46:09 In terms of not expecting results from our efforts, can this be connected to Sage Vasistha's theory of the crow alighting on the coconut tree and the coconut falling as mere coincidence?
48:38 If there is a mind will we never see the Truth?
50:41 The position of focusing in-between the eyebrows in meditation.
