What do you tell people when they ask you for marital advice?
00:00:13.680
Initially when you come together, you have a need for the other person, the other person
00:00:20.080
The need is physical, psychological, emotional, maybe economic, maybe social.
00:00:26.280
When you come together, you come because you need it.
00:00:29.900
But after some time, you think only that person needs it , this is the problem.
00:00:34.820
You always remember, I have made this relationship for my… fulfilling my needs.
00:00:40.700
Then you will approach it with little humility.
00:00:44.460
But if you think, I'm fulfilling that person's needs, then you will do things which are unfortunate
00:00:55.300
Like you think men should experience marriage or to each his own?
00:00:58.800
See, if you do not know how to allow another person to walk all over you a little bit,
00:01:08.200
you may be in your own illusion of who you are.
00:01:12.480
So marriage is that place where… it need not necessarily be marriage, it could be even
00:01:21.480
But you're a loving another person means some part of you should go.
00:01:26.240
See, this is why the English term, falling in love is a good term.
00:01:30.440
You don't rise in love, you don't climb in love, you don't fly in love, you fall in love.
00:01:39.720
You're willing to take a part of you and throw it away so that the other person is accommodated,
00:01:46.980
Which is a very good thing because this is what yoga means.
00:01:57.100
So right now, union is not my philosophy or your philosophy.
00:02:05.720
So what you exhale, the tree outside is inhaling.
00:02:15.220
We are, but we are not conscious, that's a problem.
00:02:19.880
I started a whole movement in southern India just by making people experience this.
00:02:25.480
Made them sit there and said, see what you're exhaling, trees are inhaling.
00:02:31.420
Today we planted hundred and thirty-eight million trees, living trees, because of this
00:02:40.740
Don't say, wow, it's not enough, it's a drop in the ocean.
00:02:42.780
Yeah, I mean, that's more than the average person, you know.
00:02:45.980
The average person I don't think has planted one.
00:02:56.140
But when it comes to contributing, he becomes average.
00:02:59.320
When it comes to getting, he becomes a big guy.
00:03:22.080
We got to stop the podcast and go out there and do.
