00:00Women have to be kept pure. What is purity about?

00:03The purity is not about the mind.

00:06Purity is about the genitals. The genitals have to be kept pure.

00:09So the biggest allegation you can

00:12levy on someone is not that he is mad or

00:15insane or totally badly conditioned.

00:18The biggest allegation is that he had sex somewhere.

00:21If you want to destroy someone, you need not prove that

00:24the fellow is unwise. If you prove someone to be unwise,

00:27people say, fine, unwise is okay.

00:30But if you can prove that the fellow has been sleeping

00:33somewhere, then you have destroyed him. And if the fellow happens to be

00:36a woman, then you have completely destroyed her by proving

00:39that she has slept with five or six men.

00:42Think of how strong the social conditioning is.
