01:06the thing is please understand all this that we are doing success marriage fidelity money prestige

01:28how do you even move an inch without asking these questions

01:35sir i want to actually uh there is a compulsion of early marriage so you are talking about the holiness

01:42of marriage and in one of the interviews a very famous indian entrepreneurial uh personality who

01:49actually hails from your academic institutions he was charged in one of the reality shows he was saying

01:56the virtues of early marriage that he completed his post-graduation and graduation at one go and

02:03immediately uh got married and then he figured out what to do in life and that way he was justifying

02:09that you get a clear mind that you get to figure out what to do in life and we uh often see that many uh

02:16like sports persons like sports persons like footballers they get a huge contract from a club

02:20and at the age of 21 they get married and often have like three or four children thereafter before 30.

02:27that there is a this compulsion of uh early major or marriage at all and we uh like often get stuck in

02:34with a wrong person or maybe with a person at all

02:40there is no compulsion

02:41there is no compulsion

02:44it's either

02:49a slavery you buy into

02:54or just

02:57an expensive luxury that the rich afford

03:03yes you are saying that footballers and all get married at 21 and then have

03:06kids what you are not saying is that they also get divorced at 23

03:12it's just fun

03:14good past time

03:17how many of them like stick to one partner

03:22because they have money there must be something to do so go get married

03:28what else to do with the money go buy the sexiest woman possible

03:35what else to do with the money so that's what it is

03:38as for the said gentleman i do not know who you are referring to

03:44but all that he is saying

03:47is founded on the assumption that right now he has figured out what to do in life

03:51the argument runs like this complete b-tech and mba in one go without a gap

04:04then get married early get kids early

04:12and now you're successful

04:17so the entire argument rests on the belief the assumption that right now you are

04:23successful you have made it

04:24it's a self-declared success of no avail

04:39we have stories dime a dozen

04:42of successful ones

04:45who unravel

04:47very quickly

04:47the thing is please understand all this that we are doing success marriage

05:06fidelity

05:06money

05:08money

05:08prestige

05:10whatever

05:12all these are founded on

05:15self-ignorance that is the problem

05:22you have just no idea

06:42who finalized my character there

06:50why should i call that fellow as respectable why should i call that one as successful you never ask

06:55these questions these questions these are very basic questions

06:57how do you even move an inch without asking these questions

07:02yes the answers might not be straightforward

07:05but the questions are very valuable and they must remain

07:10somebody tells you go get married be your kids

07:14what do you know you don't know your own birth

07:16and you are giving birth

07:23can one be more stupid

07:48it's like a weight of your mind

07:51another box ticked yes now i have kids done

07:54how do you know how do you know who told you

08:06where are these commandments

08:10coming from instead of

08:16jumping into the bandwagon of popular opinion hold your horses

08:24you

08:25ask yourself what's really going on

08:35don't

10:12so this man can see but accidentally

10:16he has strayed into the country of the blind

10:18where everybody has been blind since generations

10:22so blind that they have now become accustomed to blindness and they have forgotten that they are blind

10:27all their ways customs culture structures have now adapted to blindness

10:43so this striking scene

10:45this man

10:46this man

10:50with vision

10:53with two healthy eyes

10:57has been caught
