00:00The number of animals being butchered every day today for human consumption now runs into

00:12billions.

00:15Can you even come to terms with that?

00:24Millions of living beings being butchered to satisfy our taste buds every day and is

00:33it too much to see how that is part of the same pattern that leads to exploitation of

00:45little human beings within the family or in the school or at some other place, isn't the

00:54tendency to exploit just the same?

00:59You have a small thing at your home, four year old, that small thing could be your son,

01:05your daughter, your nephew, your niece, a small living being, a small helpless vulnerable

01:14living being and you exploit her and you have a small animal, it could be a hen, a duck,

01:26a lamb and you slaughter it to feed your senses, are these two events really dimensionally

01:38different from each other?

01:41They belong to the same level, they are part of the same pattern and the same problem.

01:50Are you getting it?

01:53And with human beings becoming more powerful technologically, economically, the little

02:05being at home is even more staggeringly at the mercy of the grown-ups because it is the

02:15grown-ups that have all the power, the little one does not know technology, the little one

02:20has no idea of his or her rights, the little one is absolutely at the mercy of everybody

02:27else and these grown-ups, they have so much today, they never had so much in history,

02:35they can do anything.

02:37Don't you see how human consciousness and the corruption within it is manifesting itself

02:48in a hundred ways and sexual exploitation of vulnerable sections is just one way this

03:00corruption is manifesting itself and that you cannot take care of the problem of childhood

03:09sexual trauma unless you take care of the problem of consciousness itself and that you

03:18cannot take care of the problem of childhood sexual trauma unless you take care of the

03:27problem of consciousness itself.

03:30Obviously, we can have more stringent laws, we can educate our populations better and

03:40deeper, we can do a lot of things to try to curb this menace, you could have CCTVs

03:49in schools and there are so many other things you can do, you can start teaching good touch

03:59and bad touch even to three-year-olds, you can do all these things, but even as I speak

04:04of it, I am sure you are sensing that this won't work to a great extent, because to what

04:12extent can you monitor the life of a three-year-old or a six, seven-year-old, it is not humanly

04:22possible.

04:24So, while all those things surely must be done, laws must be more stringent, the execution

04:35has to be rapid and objective and as much care as is possible must be taken, but we

04:48must also know that this problem does not arise from lax laws, this problem arises from

04:57as we said, the corruption of human consciousness, around eight years back I was talking to college

05:06students like you and I said rapists we all are, if you search for that video or that

05:15article on the net you will find it, rapists we all are, so it's the same thing, said we

05:23don't understand that these things are not about a particular kind of conduct against

05:29a particular individual, the way our civilization is progressing or deteriorating, the way we

05:41are being conditioned or cultured, the problem lies there, we have been told and we are continuously

05:52being told that the purpose of life is pleasure and happiness, if that is the highest that

06:01you can have in life, why must you not be prepared to pay any price for it tell me please,

06:10if your culture, your conditioning, your education, your media, your family, your school,

06:16your entire environment is telling you that you exist to be happy, then why must you not

06:23do things that make you happy, if the entire world economy is running on the back of forced

06:33consumption, then why must you not internally become a consumer and nothing else, who am

06:44I, I am a consumer, whatsoever I can lay my hands on I will consume it and consumption

06:52is happiness, happiness is the purpose of life and consumption is the way to get happiness,

07:03so I spot a vulnerable four-year-old in my home and I will go and consume her because

07:12that gives me happiness, the only morality is to be happy, so we are being told, I am getting it.
