0:00:05.172,0:00:07.941
presents

0:00:09.520,0:00:14.443
Marriage and Children

0:00:15.209,0:00:16.742
Have you ever come close to getting married?

0:00:17.763,0:00:18.344
No, never.

0:00:19.186,0:00:23.011
I have been against marriage from the very beginning,

0:00:23.991,0:00:24.590
because it means

0:00:29.002,0:00:30.230
cutting down your freedom.

0:00:33.065,0:00:33.667
Getting

0:00:37.872,0:00:38.893
attached

0:00:40.101,0:00:44.071
legally to a woman or to a man, no

0:00:45.312,0:00:46.547
Freedom to me

0:00:47.414,0:00:48.924
is the ultimate value,

0:00:51.084,0:00:52.953
there is nothing higher than freedom.

0:00:56.190,0:00:57.609
It was difficult,

0:01:00.209,0:01:02.396
because I was fighting from the very beginning.

0:01:04.897,0:01:06.409
My parents were in difficulty,

0:01:07.100,0:01:09.242
my family was in difficulty,

0:01:10.031,0:01:12.586
but I told them absolutely clearly

0:01:14.257,0:01:16.487
that I was not going to be married.

0:01:16.881,0:01:18.089
They would have been perfectly happy

0:01:18.878,0:01:22.516
if I had been going to be a celibate monk.

0:01:23.104,0:01:24.405
. I said, "No,

0:01:25.052,0:01:27.955
I am not going to be a celibate monk either."

0:01:28.514,0:01:29.536
That was their trouble:

0:01:31.580,0:01:33.260
if I was going to be a celibate monk

0:01:33.994,0:01:34.784
they would be happy.

0:01:34.995,0:01:35.759
In fact,

0:01:36.781,0:01:39.099
they would have felt proud

0:01:39.833,0:01:42.430
that their son had become a great monk.

0:01:44.104,0:01:45.256
I said, "No,

0:01:46.649,0:01:47.857
both are ditches.

0:01:48.669,0:01:50.611
I am going to walk just in the middle,

0:01:51.665,0:01:54.381
on the razor's edge."

0:01:55.868,0:01:57.584
And I have enjoyed the walk

0:01:59.815,0:02:00.697
tremendously.

0:02:01.324,0:02:06.340
So, what would you say now to all the people in the world who are married? Should they all get divorced?

0:02:07.127,0:02:09.405
Everybody should get divorced,

0:02:11.402,0:02:12.795
without exception.

0:02:15.233,0:02:18.019
People should meet and love each other,

0:02:22.431,0:02:23.210
occasionally,

0:02:24.478,0:02:25.868
as opportunity comes.

0:02:28.863,0:02:29.862
There should be no

0:02:31.255,0:02:32.091
ugly

0:02:32.886,0:02:33.089
state

0:02:34.087,0:02:37.891
when a wife has to make love to a man

0:02:38.685,0:02:39.939
whom she does not

0:02:41.662,0:02:42.540
love anymore,

0:02:43.964,0:02:44.955
but she has

0:02:46.975,0:02:47.996
to fulfill her duty.

0:02:50.365,0:02:52.362
The husband is fulfilling his duty:

0:02:54.441,0:02:59.010
while he is making love to the woman he may be thinking of some other woman,

0:02:59.792,0:03:01.650
she may be thinking of some other man.

0:03:02.648,0:03:06.456
What kind of neurotic society have you created?

0:03:08.685,0:03:10.497
If you don't love each other

0:03:11.332,0:03:12.308
at least be

0:03:14.305,0:03:14.928
human

0:03:15.729,0:03:17.137
and say frankly

0:03:19.134,0:03:22.920
that it was beautiful to be together, but now it is finished.

0:03:25.543,0:03:26.193
Say goodbye.

0:03:29.978,0:03:31.000
I would like

0:03:31.612,0:03:34.761
marriage to disappear completely from the world,

0:03:35.449,0:03:36.526
and with marriage,

0:03:37.850,0:03:39.614
divorce will disappear.

0:03:40.868,0:03:43.540
With marriage, prostitution will disappear.

0:03:46.069,0:03:46.960
With marriage,

0:03:48.090,0:03:53.920
most of the work of the priest will disappear.

0:03:55.543,0:03:56.970
With marriage,

0:03:57.671,0:04:00.440
almost ninety-nine percent

0:04:02.788,0:04:06.178
of the work of psychoanalysts, therapists,

0:04:07.385,0:04:09.616
psychiatrists will disappear.

0:04:12.029,0:04:16.990
It is marriage that is creating all kinds of psychological

0:04:18.879,0:04:19.668
perversions,

0:04:20.551,0:04:21.248
repressions,

0:04:22.896,0:04:24.104
guilt.

0:04:27.534,0:04:29.336
It is simply human:

0:04:30.118,0:04:31.511
you see a beautiful woman

0:04:35.156,0:04:37.850
and you would like to have some time with her.

0:04:41.147,0:04:45.187
It does not need any God's permission

0:04:50.946,0:04:53.036
even your God

0:04:57.664,0:04:58.565
committed

0:04:59.600,0:05:00.466
rape with

0:05:01.674,0:05:02.210
the Virgin Mary,

0:05:05.439,0:05:06.640
without her consent.

0:05:07.920,0:05:08.709
Do you believe that story?

0:05:10.544,0:05:12.564
I just believe that story

0:05:13.168,0:05:16.233
because it proves that your God is a rapist;

0:05:21.596,0:05:23.624
otherwise, I don't believe in the story.

0:05:25.826,0:05:27.634
Jesus must be a bastard

0:05:32.045,0:05:34.434
it is certain he was not the son of Joseph,

0:05:39.058,0:05:40.892
and just to cover up the whole thing,

0:05:41.960,0:05:44.011
that great story has been invented.

0:05:44.723,0:05:45.746
He got God to do the job!

0:05:48.282,0:05:49.583
They say God

0:05:51.385,0:05:52.572
is a trinity:

0:05:53.587,0:05:57.030
God, the Holy Ghost and the Son.

0:06:00.977,0:06:02.394
The Holy Ghost did it,

0:06:06.457,0:06:07.550
but he is part of God.

0:06:09.236,0:06:10.451
It is just like my hand

0:06:11.241,0:06:12.100
is part of me

0:06:14.863,0:06:16.860
and your genitals are part of you

0:06:18.512,0:06:22.049
the Holy Ghost is part of God, perhaps he is his genitals.

0:06:25.939,0:06:31.581
Otherwise, how could he manage to make a virgin girl

0:06:32.726,0:06:33.927
pregnant?

0:06:35.562,0:06:41.937
What about family responsibilities, the married partners' responsibility to their children?

0:06:42.657,0:06:45.839
Children should be the responsibility of the commune,

0:06:48.230,0:06:49.176
not of the family.

0:06:53.338,0:06:55.498
It is the family which creates

0:06:56.520,0:06:58.151
tremendous problems

0:06:58.749,0:06:59.956
in the children's minds.

0:07:00.954,0:07:04.725
It gives them all their sickness,

0:07:05.792,0:07:07.015
all their

0:07:07.944,0:07:09.198
superstitions,

0:07:09.987,0:07:11.380
all their

0:07:12.232,0:07:13.609
stupid ideas,

0:07:14.034,0:07:18.405
theologies, religion, political parties.

0:07:18.972,0:07:20.874
It enforces on the child.

0:07:24.244,0:07:29.492
The child has to be freed from the family. If you want a new man,

0:07:31.585,0:07:35.322
then the family is an ugly institution,

0:07:36.156,0:07:37.944
its time is over.

0:07:38.492,0:07:40.916
It should be replaced by the commune,

0:07:45.560,0:07:50.436
and then it is very easy -- the commune takes care of all the children.

0:07:51.992,0:07:57.843
There will be the father, the mother; they can meet the child, the child can come to them.

0:08:00.258,0:08:01.466
But basically

0:08:02.069,0:08:06.481
it is the responsibility of the commune to take care of the children.

0:08:07.321,0:08:11.915
The children will have many uncles and many aunts,

0:08:12.826,0:08:20.501
and they will have more opportunity for human contact with different types of people.

0:08:21.401,0:08:23.966
They will be immensely enriched.

0:08:25.706,0:08:27.170
Our children are

0:08:28.424,0:08:29.710
very impoverished;

0:08:31.164,0:08:33.717
they know only one man, one woman,

0:08:34.047,0:08:37.351
and they know the constant quarrel between the two.

0:08:37.618,0:08:39.620
The woman is nagging the husband;

0:08:41.474,0:08:43.190
the husband is beating the woman.

0:08:45.700,0:08:48.115
And this is what you are training them for:

0:08:49.113,0:08:50.964
your boy will repeat you;

0:08:52.341,0:08:55.917
he will knowingly or unknowingly be your carbon copy.

0:08:56.570,0:08:59.380
Your daughter will repeat your wife,

0:09:00.166,0:09:01.187
knowingly or unknowingly.

0:09:01.977,0:09:06.140
That's why no son can ever forgive his father,

0:09:07.410,0:09:10.717
and no daughter can ever forgive her mother.

0:09:12.217,0:09:12.853
They destroyed

0:09:13.889,0:09:14.818
their lives.

0:09:14.821,0:09:15.468
It is

0:09:16.490,0:09:17.465
absolutely

0:09:18.858,0:09:21.505
a psychologically proved phenomenon.

0:09:23.711,0:09:24.631
But if

0:09:25.522,0:09:26.915
the commune takes care,

0:09:29.748,0:09:34.949
then they will have experience of so many different kinds of people.

0:09:36.807,0:09:38.711
It is my experience

0:09:39.199,0:09:41.613
that every person is so unique

0:09:44.237,0:09:45.630
that the more

0:09:47.054,0:09:50.257
contacts, intimacies,

0:09:51.203,0:09:52.292
love affairs

0:09:52.860,0:09:53.660
you have,

0:09:54.872,0:09:57.497
the richer you will be
