00:00It's the Pradharanyak Upanishad, Yakeval is speaking to Maitrehi.
00:04O Maitrehi, know that the wife relates to the husband, not for the sake of the husband, but for the
00:11sake of the self.
00:12All relationships, the wise ones have told us, are for our own sake.
00:18What's worse is that we do not know where our sake lies.
00:22We experience but we do not understand.
00:25So we do not know where our real self-interests lie.
00:28So what do we do? We do anything in random.
00:31That includes relating as well.
00:33It's so prevalent that we don't even feel like asking, why the hell am I doing this?
00:38Sometimes the body becomes overpowering and sometimes the society overwhelms you.
00:44And then you start relating and doing things like staying under one roof and sleeping on the same bed.
00:49Without asking yourself, why the hell am I doing this?
00:52Not that we want to denounce that or condemn that.
00:56We just want to understand that.
