00:00We have people who would intrude into the other's lives.

00:03The concept of personal or private space does not exist.

00:08People happily barge in and they can ask you such questions.

00:11How are your things with your wife?

00:13An elderly one from, let's say, the extended family can come and ask you, how are you doing

00:17in your married life?

00:18When are you getting your daughter married?

00:20Somebody may even ask you, how much are you earning?

00:22You're just standing somewhere and somebody can come so close to you, you can smell his

00:26mouth.

00:27And if you step back, that's rude.

00:28So these are all corrupted flavors of love.

00:33They come from that tradition of love.

00:35West knows love of the personal kind and no other love.

00:39India was fortunate it came to know of a higher love, but it reduced that higher love to one

00:46of personal kind.

00:47No, I do not know which one is the worst tragedy, to not to know love at all or to reduce higher

00:55love to a personal point.

00:57I would think the latter is worse.
