Transcript

00:00I would consider perhaps adopting children at some point.

00:03What kind of a world do you see with majority of people being antenatals

00:08and then do you see the human civilization coming to an end at some point in the future?

00:14There is no great virtue in the human civilization continuing, first thing.

00:18If the child is born suffering, why do you want to bring more child to the world to make them suffer?

00:25What is the point in ensuring that the cycle continues?

00:29What is the great need or the great virtue?

00:31And what is the great catastrophe if it all, you know?

00:34Second thing, not everybody is born to be self-realized, right?

00:38The average kind of people will always outnumber the ones who understand.

00:43So the human race will continue, don't worry.

00:45There will be always enough people who will never understand what I am saying

00:49and therefore they will keep on bearing 2 kids, 4 kids, 20 kids.

00:52So don't worry, human race is not at the risk of annihilation.

00:55I will never be totally understood and the race will continue.
