Transcript

00:00There is nothing called a soulmate. The institution of marriage is a useful one

00:04constructed to give you a bodymate. If the institution of marriage is not there,

00:08then there is indeed a possibility that the animal within us would run amort.

00:12Already people are so fond of peeping into their neighbor's house and if they are not constrained

00:17by religion and law and morality, then you do not know what the restless animal within us can do.

00:24With that understanding, now we will have realistic expectations from marriage.

00:28She is here because I am lustful. And she has agreed to come to me because she too is lustful

00:32and insecure and lonely. And that's the only reason. But what about love?

00:35Don't husband and wife love each other? No sir, they do not.

00:38Love is the exclusive domain of a spiritual mind.

00:42Love is something that really is not a matter between a man and a woman, a girl and a boy,

00:49a hero and a heroine. But just as we do not know ourselves, we do not know what marriage really is,

00:54we also do not know what love really is.
