00:06to the institution of marriage. The thing is that if you are not joyful within, no man or woman can

00:12enter your life and turn you joyful. That's not going to happen. But then popular literature

00:16and romantic philosophy and the movies, they have led us to believe that irrespective of how rotten

00:23we are within, some magical person will enter our life and totally transform it. Now that cannot

00:29happen. Who does not know why the wife is not able to give him what he wants, comes to us and he says,

00:33this is my condition. I would ask him, is there anything that pleases you? Forget the wife. Before

00:45then? Were you better off? The person who enters into your life or your house does not come to raise

00:52you to divine possibilities. That person comes to you because you do not deserve to lead a single

00:57bachelor life.
