00:00What is this idea that unless you are in a long-term relationship with somebody,
00:04there is something missing?
00:05Long-term relationship is not a problem.
00:08A planned, hot-out, constructed and advanced relationship is a problem.
00:13It might actually be beautiful to grow old together,
00:16to be with someone for next 50 years.
00:18Companionship is wonderful.
00:19Companionship with the opposite gender too might be wonderful.
00:22But it's beautiful when it's day by day.
00:24Not when it has been made binding upon you
00:27by forces of society, culture and law.
00:31Why must you be so insecure?
00:33And if you have an inner void,
00:35then the Bhagavad Gita is there for you.
00:37Great writers are there for you.
00:38Great arts are there for you.
00:40Great books, great philosophies are there for you.
00:43The saints have such great songs of love.
00:45They are there for you.
00:46The problem is the guilt you are experiencing.
00:49Am I being selfish?
00:50You are entitled to be selfish.
00:52What else do you have in life except the self?
00:54Take care of it.
00:55What else will you take care of?
00:57If not the self.
