the wheel moves, has to move, and the spoke that was on top starts moving towards the bottom.

This is the whole wheel of life... the wheel of day and night. When the day ends, night comes. When the night ends, day comes. This is the very wheel of life and death.

So I wanted to start this positive group. It will make the wheel turn completely. I was not hoping that by doing the positive group you would come to some very positive understanding. No -- rather you come more to the negative! But I didn't say anything to you because I wanted you to move into the unknown and see what happened. This has happened.

This is one of the greatest understandings in the very core of life.

So first do the negative -- that will be positive. Force people to be happy and high (laughter). The leader has almost to be a buffoon, and a positive group means a circus. Bring them to such happiness that tears start flowing.

And now if you are capable and Sudha (the assistant) is courageous enough, don't make
