00:00There is nothing called a soulmate, nothing called a soulmate.

00:02The institution of marriage is a useful one constructed to give you a bodymate.

00:08And I'm saying it's useful because if the institution of marriage is not there,

00:11then there is indeed a possibility that the animal within us would run amok.

00:15Already people are so fond of peeping into their neighbor's house

00:19and if they are not constrained by religion and law and morality,

00:24then you do not know what the restless animal within us can do.

00:28They will say, but what about love? Don't husband and wife love each other?

00:31No, sir, they do not.

00:32Love is the exclusive domain of a spiritual mind.

00:37And the spiritual mind does not rush to someone of the opposite gender to seek fulfillment.

00:42One basic characteristic of spiritual mind is that it knows

00:45that fulfillment cannot be found in the body of the other.

00:49We do not know what marriage really is.

00:51We also do not know what love really is.

00:53So in our blind quest for love,

00:58we just keep stumbling from one place to the other,

01:02not knowing a thing, marrying once, marrying twice, marrying thrice.
