00:00This ritual at some places is called Dalitdar Phekna.

00:03So, all the suffering and misery of your house,

00:06you know, somehow you put in that diya and you keep it in the middle of the road.

00:10And if somebody touches it, then all that suffering goes to that person.

00:14So, I crushed no less than a dozen of them today.

00:17You look at the violence implicit in that.

00:20First of all, the foolishness.

00:22All the suffering can be put in the diya and then you put the diya in the middle of the road.

00:26And then it goes to somebody else's house.

00:28You look at the ignorance and the violence both.

00:30Do you see that? That's religion.

00:32Isn't it just befitting that Shri Krishna is totally discarding that religion?

00:37Totally discarding with no care, regards, concern.

00:42Not even the appearance of respect.

00:46He is disdainful.

00:47He is saying two hoots.

00:48Two hoots to the religion that the masses practice.

00:51That's Gita.

00:52Can you be clearer than this?

00:55There is no ambiguity left.

00:56There is no God up there to change your life.

00:58Your life is in your own hands.

01:00You think hard, you work hard, you party hard.

01:03No God, no religion.

01:05That's not going to help you.
