00:00 Why it is like people are obsessed with that only bodily concern or bodily cheating.

00:09 Like if two person are madly loving with each other, like for years, 8-9 years and suddenly

00:16 one finds out he cheated on her or him.

00:21 All the love and everything vanished and they started looking that person, that he started

00:26 looking that person or she started looking that person.

00:28 As an enemy?

00:29 Yeah, like so just one thing, I mean I am just confused about it that only that physical,

00:36 physicality of the body is that much important to…

00:39 That only shows that for the last 8 years, the relationship was only physical.

00:46 If for the reason of a physical transgression, the relationship can collapse, then the relationship

00:54 itself was just physical, what else?

00:58 Is the conclusion not obvious?

01:03 You have had a relationship since 8 years and then one fine day you find that your partner

01:09 has been sleeping with somebody else.

01:11 You are so outraged that you break up.

01:16 What does that tell about the relationship?

01:21 That the physical part was absolutely central to that relationship.

01:26 It's just that one feels a little guilty, a little ashamed of accepting that 99.99%

01:39 of our relationships are just sexual.

01:43 So we cover it up with fancy names.

01:49 Covering it up with fancy names, we somehow manage to convince ourselves as well that

01:55 the relationship is not just physical.

02:00 But all that self-deception falls into pieces when you have instances like these, instances

02:11 of cheating and such things.

02:19 It was just physical.

02:22 That's how animals relate, don't they?

02:25 We are animals.

02:26 We are animals and animals can get extremely violent if they discover their mate being

02:37 stolen away.

02:47 There was one board I once read.

02:49 It said how to be cautious of dogs.

02:54 It particularly warned against disturbing dogs on two or three occasions.

03:02 One when they're having their food.

03:06 Second when they're fighting among themselves, when they're angry.

03:10 And third when they're mating.

03:14 Don't disturb them at that point.

03:19 Even the most emaciated kind of dog will leap at your throat like a lion if it is in the

03:29 process of lovemaking.

03:33 That's how our relationships are as well.

03:37 We are fundamentally animals.

03:39 But we are very cunning animals.

03:44 Animals do not try to obfuscate their intentions.

03:50 Dogs do it on roads.

03:58 When no dog first allures the bitch with gifts or promises or rounds or stuff over the fire

04:21 or holy chants, all that doesn't happen.

04:26 The dog knows what it wants, the bitch knows what it wants and they just get over it quite

04:31 quickly.

04:33 Done and dusted.

04:36 Human beings spend five years, seven years in courtship knowing fully well that the objective

04:46 is just one.

04:51 But neither the man nor the woman, assuming it's a man-woman relationship, would dare

04:58 confess it to the other, especially not in India.

05:05 And especially not if you are a woman.

05:10 You cannot tell the man, "All I want is your body."

05:22 The man won't be offended even if he's an Indian.

05:29 It's far better to be honest.

05:37 Very very rare are relationships on a higher plane.

05:42 We have moved out of the jungle, but within we remain animals.

05:51 And it's been not a long time since we migrated out of the jungle, right?

05:59 Look at the entire evolutionary history.

06:04 We are pretty recent immigrants.

06:07 So the jungle is very much alive and kicking within us.
