00:00There is nothing called a soulmate. The institution of marriage is a useful one

00:04constructed to give you a bodymate. If the institution of marriage is not there

00:08then there is indeed a possibility that the animal within us would run amoff.

00:12Already people are so fond of peeping into their neighbor's house and if they

00:16are not constrained by religion and law and morality then you do not know what

00:21the restless animal within us can do. With that understanding now we will have

00:26realistic expectations from marriage. She's here because I'm lustful and she has

00:30agreed to come to me because she too is lustful and insecure and lonely and that's

00:34the only reason. But what about love? Don't husband and wife love each other? No sir

00:37they do not. Love is the exclusive domain of a spiritual mind. Love is something

00:43that really is not a matter between a man and a woman, a girl and a boy, a hero and a

00:49heroine. But just as we do not know ourselves, we do not know what marriage

00:53really is. We also do not know what love really is.
