1
00:00:05,172 --> 00:00:07,941
presents

2
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:14,443
Marriage and Children

3
00:00:15,209 --> 00:00:16,742
Have you ever come close to getting married?

4
00:00:17,763 --> 00:00:18,344
No, never.

5
00:00:19,186 --> 00:00:23,011
I have been against marriage from the very beginning,

6
00:00:23,991 --> 00:00:24,590
because it means

7
00:00:29,002 --> 00:00:30,230
cutting down your freedom.

8
00:00:33,065 --> 00:00:33,667
Getting

9
00:00:37,872 --> 00:00:38,893
attached

10
00:00:40,101 --> 00:00:44,071
legally to a woman or to a man, no

11
00:00:45,312 --> 00:00:46,547
Freedom to me

12
00:00:47,414 --> 00:00:48,924
is the ultimate value,

13
00:00:51,084 --> 00:00:52,953
there is nothing higher than freedom.

14
00:00:56,190 --> 00:00:57,609
It was difficult,

15
00:01:00,209 --> 00:01:02,396
because I was fighting from the very beginning.

16
00:01:04,897 --> 00:01:06,409
My parents were in difficulty,

17
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:09,242
my family was in difficulty,

18
00:01:10,031 --> 00:01:12,586
but I told them absolutely clearly

19
00:01:14,257 --> 00:01:16,487
that I was not going to be married.

20
00:01:16,881 --> 00:01:18,089
They would have been perfectly happy

21
00:01:18,878 --> 00:01:22,516
if I had been going to be a celibate monk.

22
00:01:23,104 --> 00:01:24,405
. I said, "No,

23
00:01:25,052 --> 00:01:27,955
I am not going to be a celibate monk either."

24
00:01:28,514 --> 00:01:29,536
That was their trouble:

25
00:01:31,580 --> 00:01:33,260
if I was going to be a celibate monk

26
00:01:33,994 --> 00:01:34,784
they would be happy.

27
00:01:34,995 --> 00:01:35,759
In fact,

28
00:01:36,781 --> 00:01:39,099
they would have felt proud

29
00:01:39,833 --> 00:01:42,430
that their son had become a great monk.

30
00:01:44,104 --> 00:01:45,256
I said, "No,

31
00:01:46,649 --> 00:01:47,857
both are ditches.

32
00:01:48,669 --> 00:01:50,611
I am going to walk just in the middle,

33
00:01:51,665 --> 00:01:54,381
on the razor's edge."

34
00:01:55,868 --> 00:01:57,584
And I have enjoyed the walk

35
00:01:59,815 --> 00:02:00,697
tremendously.

36
00:02:01,324 --> 00:02:06,340
So, what would you say now to all the people in the world who are married? Should they all get divorced?

37
00:02:07,127 --> 00:02:09,405
Everybody should get divorced,

38
00:02:11,402 --> 00:02:12,795
without exception.

39
00:02:15,233 --> 00:02:18,019
People should meet and love each other,

40
00:02:22,431 --> 00:02:23,210
occasionally,

41
00:02:24,478 --> 00:02:25,868
as opportunity comes.

42
00:02:28,863 --> 00:02:29,862
There should be no

43
00:02:31,255 --> 00:02:32,091
ugly

44
00:02:32,886 --> 00:02:33,089
state

45
00:02:34,087 --> 00:02:37,891
when a wife has to make love to a man

46
00:02:38,685 --> 00:02:39,939
whom she does not

47
00:02:41,662 --> 00:02:42,540
love anymore,

48
00:02:43,964 --> 00:02:44,955
but she has

49
00:02:46,975 --> 00:02:47,996
to fulfill her duty.

50
00:02:50,365 --> 00:02:52,362
The husband is fulfilling his duty:

51
00:02:54,441 --> 00:02:59,010
while he is making love to the woman he may be thinking of some other woman,

52
00:02:59,792 --> 00:03:01,650
she may be thinking of some other man.

53
00:03:02,648 --> 00:03:06,456
What kind of neurotic society have you created?

54
00:03:08,685 --> 00:03:10,497
If you don't love each other

55
00:03:11,332 --> 00:03:12,308
at least be

56
00:03:14,305 --> 00:03:14,928
human

57
00:03:15,729 --> 00:03:17,137
and say frankly

58
00:03:19,134 --> 00:03:22,920
that it was beautiful to be together, but now it is finished.

59
00:03:25,543 --> 00:03:26,193
Say goodbye.

60
00:03:29,978 --> 00:03:31,000
I would like

61
00:03:31,612 --> 00:03:34,761
marriage to disappear completely from the world,

62
00:03:35,449 --> 00:03:36,526
and with marriage,

63
00:03:37,850 --> 00:03:39,614
divorce will disappear.

64
00:03:40,868 --> 00:03:43,540
With marriage, prostitution will disappear.

65
00:03:46,069 --> 00:03:46,960
With marriage,

66
00:03:48,090 --> 00:03:53,920
most of the work of the priest will disappear.

67
00:03:55,543 --> 00:03:56,970
With marriage,

68
00:03:57,671 --> 00:04:00,440
almost ninety-nine percent

69
00:04:02,788 --> 00:04:06,178
of the work of psychoanalysts, therapists,

70
00:04:07,385 --> 00:04:09,616
psychiatrists will disappear.

71
00:04:12,029 --> 00:04:16,990
It is marriage that is creating all kinds of psychological

72
00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:19,668
perversions,

73
00:04:20,551 --> 00:04:21,248
repressions,

74
00:04:22,896 --> 00:04:24,104
guilt.

75
00:04:27,534 --> 00:04:29,336
It is simply human:

76
00:04:30,118 --> 00:04:31,511
you see a beautiful woman

77
00:04:35,156 --> 00:04:37,850
and you would like to have some time with her.

78
00:04:41,147 --> 00:04:45,187
It does not need any God's permission

79
00:04:50,946 --> 00:04:53,036
even your God

80
00:04:57,664 --> 00:04:58,565
committed

81
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:00,466
rape with

82
00:05:01,674 --> 00:05:02,210
the Virgin Mary,

83
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:06,640
without her consent.

84
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:08,709
Do you believe that story?

85
00:05:10,544 --> 00:05:12,564
I just believe that story

86
00:05:13,168 --> 00:05:16,233
because it proves that your God is a rapist;

87
00:05:21,596 --> 00:05:23,624
otherwise, I don't believe in the story.

88
00:05:25,826 --> 00:05:27,634
Jesus must be a bastard

89
00:05:32,045 --> 00:05:34,434
it is certain he was not the son of Joseph,

90
00:05:39,058 --> 00:05:40,892
and just to cover up the whole thing,

91
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,011
that great story has been invented.

92
00:05:44,723 --> 00:05:45,746
He got God to do the job!

93
00:05:48,282 --> 00:05:49,583
They say God

94
00:05:51,385 --> 00:05:52,572
is a trinity:

95
00:05:53,587 --> 00:05:57,030
God, the Holy Ghost and the Son.

96
00:06:00,977 --> 00:06:02,394
The Holy Ghost did it,

97
00:06:06,457 --> 00:06:07,550
but he is part of God.

98
00:06:09,236 --> 00:06:10,451
It is just like my hand

99
00:06:11,241 --> 00:06:12,100
is part of me

100
00:06:14,863 --> 00:06:16,860
and your genitals are part of you

101
00:06:18,512 --> 00:06:22,049
the Holy Ghost is part of God, perhaps he is his genitals.

102
00:06:25,939 --> 00:06:31,581
Otherwise, how could he manage to make a virgin girl

103
00:06:32,726 --> 00:06:33,927
pregnant?

104
00:06:35,562 --> 00:06:41,937
What about family responsibilities, the married partners' responsibility to their children?

105
00:06:42,657 --> 00:06:45,839
Children should be the responsibility of the commune,

106
00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:49,176
not of the family.

107
00:06:53,338 --> 00:06:55,498
It is the family which creates

108
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,151
tremendous problems

109
00:06:58,749 --> 00:06:59,956
in the children's minds.

110
00:07:00,954 --> 00:07:04,725
It gives them all their sickness,

111
00:07:05,792 --> 00:07:07,015
all their

112
00:07:07,944 --> 00:07:09,198
superstitions,

113
00:07:09,987 --> 00:07:11,380
all their

114
00:07:12,232 --> 00:07:13,609
stupid ideas,

115
00:07:14,034 --> 00:07:18,405
theologies, religion, political parties.

116
00:07:18,972 --> 00:07:20,874
It enforces on the child.

117
00:07:24,244 --> 00:07:29,492
The child has to be freed from the family. If you want a new man,

118
00:07:31,585 --> 00:07:35,322
then the family is an ugly institution,

119
00:07:36,156 --> 00:07:37,944
its time is over.

120
00:07:38,492 --> 00:07:40,916
It should be replaced by the commune,

121
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,436
and then it is very easy -- the commune takes care of all the children.

122
00:07:51,992 --> 00:07:57,843
There will be the father, the mother; they can meet the child, the child can come to them.

123
00:08:00,258 --> 00:08:01,466
But basically

124
00:08:02,069 --> 00:08:06,481
it is the responsibility of the commune to take care of the children.

125
00:08:07,321 --> 00:08:11,915
The children will have many uncles and many aunts,

126
00:08:12,826 --> 00:08:20,501
and they will have more opportunity for human contact with different types of people.

127
00:08:21,401 --> 00:08:23,966
They will be immensely enriched.

128
00:08:25,706 --> 00:08:27,170
Our children are

129
00:08:28,424 --> 00:08:29,710
very impoverished;

130
00:08:31,164 --> 00:08:33,717
they know only one man, one woman,

131
00:08:34,047 --> 00:08:37,351
and they know the constant quarrel between the two.

132
00:08:37,618 --> 00:08:39,620
The woman is nagging the husband;

133
00:08:41,474 --> 00:08:43,190
the husband is beating the woman.

134
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:48,115
And this is what you are training them for:

135
00:08:49,113 --> 00:08:50,964
your boy will repeat you;

136
00:08:52,341 --> 00:08:55,917
he will knowingly or unknowingly be your carbon copy.

137
00:08:56,570 --> 00:08:59,380
Your daughter will repeat your wife,

138
00:09:00,166 --> 00:09:01,187
knowingly or unknowingly.

139
00:09:01,977 --> 00:09:06,140
That's why no son can ever forgive his father,

140
00:09:07,410 --> 00:09:10,717
and no daughter can ever forgive her mother.

141
00:09:12,217 --> 00:09:12,853
They destroyed

142
00:09:13,889 --> 00:09:14,818
their lives.

143
00:09:14,821 --> 00:09:15,468
It is

144
00:09:16,490 --> 00:09:17,465
absolutely

145
00:09:18,858 --> 00:09:21,505
a psychologically proved phenomenon.

146
00:09:23,711 --> 00:09:24,631
But if

147
00:09:25,522 --> 00:09:26,915
the commune takes care,

148
00:09:29,748 --> 00:09:34,949
then they will have experience of so many different kinds of people.

149
00:09:36,807 --> 00:09:38,711
It is my experience

150
00:09:39,199 --> 00:09:41,613
that every person is so unique

151
00:09:44,237 --> 00:09:45,630
that the more

152
00:09:47,054 --> 00:09:50,257
contacts, intimacies,

153
00:09:51,203 --> 00:09:52,292
love affairs

154
00:09:52,860 --> 00:09:53,660
you have,

155
00:09:54,872 --> 00:09:57,497
the richer you will be
