00:00We have people who would intrude into the other's lives.
00:03The concept of personal or private space does not exist.
00:08People happily barge in and they can ask you such questions.
00:11How are your things with your wife?
00:13An elderly one from, let's say, the extended family can come and ask you, how are you doing
00:17in your married life?
00:18When are you getting your daughter married?
00:20Somebody may even ask you, how much are you earning?
00:22You're just standing somewhere and somebody can come so close to you, you can smell his
00:26mouth.
00:27And if you step back, that's rude.
00:28So these are all corrupted flavors of love.
00:33They come from that tradition of love.
00:35West knows love of the personal kind and no other love.
00:39India was fortunate it came to know of a higher love, but it reduced that higher love to one
00:46of personal kind.
00:47No, I do not know which one is the worst tragedy, to not to know love at all or to reduce higher
00:55love to a personal point.
00:57I would think the latter is worse.
