00:00First of all, if the child says, why did you bring me into this world?

00:24The parents must straight away apologize, not a laughing matter, think of basic honesty.

00:43And it is because parents have first of all committed the mistake of bringing another

01:07person into this world of agony, longing and suffering that they compensate by

01:25investing themselves in raising the kid.

01:30That is why it is imperative for the parents to bring education to the kid, give food to

01:47the kid, spend money on the kid.

01:54It is a compensation.

01:58Have you seen how much of parent's time, especially the mother's time gets spent on the kid?

02:12It has to be done.

02:13It is a thing of justice.

02:19It is not a favor to the kid.

02:21The parents owe it to the kid.

02:27And the kid is very justified in asking, did I really plead to you to bring me into this

02:36world?

02:42Did I send a formal application?

02:48You in your moment of personal wisdom and planned indiscretion or unplanned lust gave

03:04birth to me.

03:13Now I sue you.

03:20Now I demand damages.

03:25And all the money that gets spent on the kid is actually a compensation.

03:33Compensation for that moment of indiscretion.

03:38It could be conscious indiscretion by way of a planned birth or it could be unconscious

03:45indiscretion when you say, oh, the child just came, we did not plan it.

03:53Whether conscious or unconscious, the fact is that it is an indiscretion.

03:59Because it is an indiscretion, so you pay for it.

04:03Now you know why you have to pay so much for the kid's school fee.

04:10It is a fine.

04:12It is a fine that you are paying.

04:15You are being penalized by existence.

04:19Now you know why the mother has to carry the kid for nine months.

04:23The mother is being severely penalized.

04:27What made you go so blind in emotion or in lust that you allowed yourself to get pregnant?

04:35Now pay the fine.

04:43Now a shrieking, screeching thing will come into the world.

04:53Pay the fine.

04:57It begins by paying the hospital fees.

05:04No kid gets born without the hospital charges being paid.

05:12Does that not tell you that the whole thing starts as some kind of penalty?

05:25See after you fight with someone, you are carried away to the hospital.

05:30You know that something wrong has happened, that is why you have been brought to the hospital.

05:35And when you get pregnant, you are taken to the hospital.

05:39Do not you see the parallel?

05:43So that is true.

05:57And every kid must ask this.

06:03And therefore, giving the best environment to the kid to rid him of all body and social

06:14identification is the minimum that the parents can do for him.

06:19The parents have given the kid the cage that the body is.

06:27The body is a cage and as the kid grows up, there is much more to engage him.

06:41And it is not merely a mistake, it is actually a crime.

06:54There was nobody to suffer.

06:58And you unnecessarily brought suffering to the world.

07:03Now the minimum that you can do is liberate him.

07:10Give him conditions that would enable his liberation.

07:17And that is the role, the dharma of parents.

07:20Give kid conditions that would enable his liberation.

07:27I repeat, this is not a favor that parents do to the child.

07:30This is their obligation.

07:32And if you cannot meet this obligation, then you are committing a double crime.

07:46The first is to give birth.

07:50The second is to give birth without having the credentials to act as worthy parents.

08:20Let all parents remember this.

08:35The day the child is born, he is born as someone to whom you are deeply indebted.

09:04You have to clear the debt.

09:11It is not that the child is indebted.

09:17The parents must be very clear on who the debtor is.

09:21Classically, it has been said that the child owes a lot to the parents, matr-rn, pitr-rn.

09:32The fact is totally different.

09:38The parents owe a lot to the child.

09:46So be very cautious while giving birth.

09:48When you are giving birth, you are actually giving birth to a big debt, a humongous debt.

10:00And you will have to settle that debt, otherwise you will not be able to settle in peace.

10:12If you do not want to increase your debt manifold, then be very cautious while giving birth.

10:30Giving birth is not a plaything.

10:32There was nothing else to do.

10:37So we just decided to break the bed and a few babies we got.

10:47Here are two.

10:48Where is the third one?

10:49Oh, where is the third one?

10:50Look behind the almirah, under the carpet, behind the curtain.

10:59Here third must be there.

11:03It's not a casual affair.

11:09Giving birth is not for kids.

11:16Law just says that there is a legal age, 18, 21 and such things.

11:22First of all, giving birth requires that there has to be mental maturity.

11:28Unfortunately, 99% of the world's population is not at all mentally mature enough to be

11:38parents.

11:41The funny thing is that the 1% who are mentally mature enough to be parents would never want

11:48to give birth.

11:52So all the instances of baby making belong to those who should never have been allowed

12:04to make babies.

12:07It's almost like a five-year-old girl giving birth.

12:10Oh, she looks 25, she's actually 5.

12:20A four-year-old boy giving birth, oh, he looks like a brute of 34, 6 feet, 80 kilograms.

12:32He's actually just 4.

12:37Just as a four-year-old runs behind mama, this 34-year-old runs behind the kid's mama.

12:59We must fully understand what procreation is beyond the social myth.

13:09There is a huge social myth around becoming parents, giving birth, babies.

13:16We don't beget babies.

13:21We beget stories.

13:27We do not know what a baby really is.

13:31We fall for stories.

13:36We have stories.

13:37We don't know realities.

13:40And we become part of those stories.

13:48Those stories are all false.

13:52Open your eyes and look at what the thing actually is like.

14:03It is not the fairy tale we have been told it is.

14:11It is something drastically different.
