Thank you for this video. As usual Maharaj is to the point and pushes me to reflect. A PR line often repeated by social media bosses is "we are connecting more people than before". This statement also implies people are LESS connected than before. How is that? Ever since the first industrial revolution, people have had to migrate from their home-towns to distant industrialised cities in search of jobs, leaving behind, sometimes for the entire duration of their working lives, family and relatives. In this respect, social media companies have provided a service for seperated families to stay in touch. The irony of this is human beings is imperceptibly being CONDITIONED to STAY isolated, to LET GO of the experience of direct human contact, to increasingly interact VIA technology thus WEAKENING his social skills and turning him into "CONNECTED-HERMITS" existing within a grid, matrix or metaverse defined and controlled by Google, Amazon and FB. When I found I was spending 2 hours a day responding to WA and Telegram messages I realised I had to get a grip 2 hours = 16 japa rounds.
Maharaj is right, stay conscious and stay in control of your mind and senses.
