-So, you say
that you are never angry.
But I'm curious if there's
exceptions to this rule.
So I thought it would be fun
to give you a few scenarios,
and you would tell me
how you would deal with it
instead of being angry, okay
So, number one.
You're waiting in line
at a Baskin-Robins.
Let me paint you a picture
A Baskin-Robins.
-I don't go to Baskin-Robins
-Okay, where do you go?
What's your favorite place
to eat or drink?
-Babu Ji.
-Ba-- Okay.
-Babu Ji in New York.
Bibi Ji in San Francisco.
-And what do they sell there
-What do they sell?
-Yeah.
-The best Indian food.
-Indian food. Great.
Oh. Even better.
This is more my forte.
You're waiting
at Babu Ji's, okay?
-I never have to wait.
They give me preference.
[ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
I'm being honest.
-Okay. You know what?
-I've never had to wait in line.
-No wonder you don't get angry
Let's just say there is
a new staff member.
Didn't recognize you.
You had to --
[ Gasps ] You had to wait. Okay?
The person in front of you
is asking for a sample.
They want a sample
of the butter chicken,
of the shahi paneer, of the dal,
and everything,
and you're not waiting
30, 40 minutes.
How do you not get angry?
-I write a book.
[ Laughter ]
-What is the book about?
-Not getting angry.
[ Laughter ]
-Okay. Okay. One more, one more.
Wow. You are smart.
You make a new friend, but -
And this is hypothetical.
You just have to --
You make a new friend,
but then you find out
that they're just using yo
to get to Oprah.
-Well, then,
I call Oprah and say,
"If you want to be Oprah Chopra,
don't get confused
by this person."
-Okay. I mean, I'm sure
that probably happens to you
all the time.
-All the time.
-Where people are like --
you know -- Having said that
I really want Oprah on my show
So I was wondering, do you think
she should do this show?
I mean just
hypothetically asking.
'Cause don't you think
it's a great show?
-I think she should, actually.
-Yeah?
-She went to India with me
And she enjoyed it very much
She would like to do a show.
-So, basically, we booked Oprah,
saying that Oprah
should be on the show.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Oh, my gosh.
That was so unexpected
and sweet and kind of you.
Thank you so much.
So, you meditate how often
-I'm there now.
-You're meditating right now
-I'm in that state of bein
which is called meditation
-Even with my loud voice
in your face right now?
-That's --
I don't hear it as loud.
[ Laughter ]
-All of my exes
want your advice.
Um, so, you start your day
with meditation
in the morning, though,
I'm guessing?
-Yes.
-Okay. Great.
So, you have your own mantra
-Yes.
-And it's supposed to be
very secretive? Is that correct?
Or are you able to share it?
-I have so many mantras.
Some I can share.
-Can you share one
that you're able to share?
-"Take it easy."
-Oh. Very simple. I love it.
[ Applause ]
So, here's the thing.
I'm starting to get into
meditation a little bit more
It makes me feel
infinitely better
when I take time to meditate
But I don't really have a mantra
that I repeat to myself.
I was wondering if you could
help me figure one out.
Because now that people pa
thousands of dollars for this.
-Instead of saying,
"I am Lilly Singh,"
say, "I am..."
and then replace that
with a hum,
which is the vibration
of the breath,
which is the source
of all existence.
-So I --
-So get rid of Lilly Singh
-So just get rid of Lilly.
-That's not your real identity
That's your
provisional identity.
-So I am a hum.
-I am.
That means "a hum" in Sanskrit
-Ohh!
I am --
"Before, I am Lilly Singh.
Which was a name given to you.
-Yup.
-You are just
this wondrous being.
And now you're still a wondrou
being, but provisionally.
-This might be the best da
of my life.
Like, this might be
the best day of my life.
