00:00There is nothing called a soul mate. The institution of marriage is a useful one constructed to give

00:04you a body mate. And I am saying it's useful because if the institution of marriage is not

00:09there, then there is indeed a possibility that the animal within us would run amok.

00:13Already people are so fond of peeping into their neighbor's house and if they are not constrained

00:19by religion and law and morality, then you do not know what the restless animal within us can do.

00:25With that understanding, now we will have very tempered and realistic expectations from

00:31marriage. Now we will know that if we are living with a woman, then there can hardly be any

00:36spiritual dimension to this association. She is here because I am lustful and she has agreed to

00:41come to me because she too is lustful and insecure and lonely. And that's the only reason. Now the

00:46moment I say this, people will bring in the word love. They'll say, but what about love? Don't

00:49husband and wife love each other? No sir, they do not. Love is the exclusive domain of a spiritual mind.
