00:00Sir, what about societal expectations?
00:02What do you mean by society?
00:03This is society.
00:05Did you take their approval to ask this question?
00:10That's what.
00:11We have an unwritten contract in the external matters of life, in the superficial matters of life.
00:20We will behave in ways that are not inconvenient to each other.
00:24As you sit, you have maintained a certain physical distance.
00:27That's what.
00:28So that's your social contract that deals with things that are very transactional and superficial.
00:36That's fine.
00:36But how is it that social expectations become your very center?
00:41That you cannot explain.
00:43The society can determine the language, but not the content.
00:46The content must be your own.
00:48The society is determining what career you would pursue.
00:51The society is determining when you are going to the temple.
00:54The society, in fact, is determining who your very God is.
00:58And the society is determining who you marry.
01:01You don't even have freedom in something as intimate as love.
01:06Now life will punish you.
01:07And it is worse to be punished by life than by law.
