Physical contact is not the only way to establish relationship what people are calling as Love Today is actually just Mutual benefit Scheme you need to fall in love something of you must go then only there is room for Love how can we let go with the past and the difficult events in our life Alexander I thought love is about coming together not about breaking up I know so I know these things are happening everywhere because uh we are not looking at life as life we have been

Educated our education systems our idea of science and technology has all deduced itself into how to use everything for our benefit from the smallest bacteria to the largest animal on the planet everything we want to use for our benefit the very Planet itself we want to exploit it for our benefit in

That unfortunately human beings also are included so this uh what people are calling as Love Today is actually just Mutual benefit scheme you give me this I’ll give you that the moment you don’t give me that I won’t give you this and that is why you’re starting the question

About love with breakup and divorce that’s true in my understanding of life love is about weaving two lives together two lives becoming like one but now uh we are talking about breakup today when we talk about love people are asking thinking in terms of uh expiry

Date how long will this last so this is an unfortunate situation that people will not know the profoundness of sharing life uh with somebody or uh you know because when when you really want to include somebody as a part of your life you will have to vacate some of

Yourself something of you should fall this English expression I don’t know what they say in French but the English expression of falling in love is a good thing see you cannot rise in love you cannot fly in love you cannot climb in love you can only fall in love something

That is You Must Fall so right now we are trying to climb in love so there are troubles all the time so is there a French expression for falling in love it’s the same it’s to am which is falling in love we have the same expression if we translate that’s

Good french are still falling in love that is a good thing to hear because it is only become a mutual benefit scheme for most people how to get what I want love is not about getting what you want it is an opportunity to make yourself vulnerable it’s an

Opportunity to Lose Yourself this is not a profit oriented project love is not a profit oriented project it is uh willingly going for a loss that’s what it is about but the moment you think about profit then of course there are right from the day one there is friction only because of

Hormonal uh you know draw people may be coming together otherwise the way modern societies are getting structured we have almost left no no room for love it is only about what I can get out of you so when this is the way breakup is a natural process because

If you’re trying to squeeze joy out of somebody then it’s not going to work if your life is about sharing the best that you have then it’ll work I’m not saying it is not there at all but unfortunately largely it’s moving in this direction

What can I get out of you what can you do for me it’s not about what can I do for you so this falling in love has to come back right now people are doing love no no you need to fall in love something of you must go then only there

Is room for love otherwise there is just a mutual benefit scheme the moment there is no benefit for you of course it will end let me tell you a joke is it okay French I a joke right yeah I love the jokes a French man just had a breakup

And he had just received a text message on his phone that the girl said this is the end of it so he was slowly reading through it and his mother came and asked what are you reading he didn’t want to tell her so he said uh I’m reading a

Recipe of a very nice uh you know gourmet food yeah she looked at him and said it looks like you have come to cutting onions because he was tearing up it looks like you come to the part where they’re cutting onions so even if you even if you tear

Up when you cut onions if you cook well still the food tastes good all right so this whole thing about human beings not able to manage their relationships one important thing is right now in English language it’s become like this I think I suspect that it could be the French who started

This that to see for for us here in India when we say a relationship it could be many things it could be with our parents it could be with our siblings it could be with our friends there’s a relationship between Guru and the disciple variety of relationships

But in the west now it has been made if you say a relationship it means it’s a body based relationship unfortunately for that they are paying a price because body is not the only way to establish relationship physical contact is not the only way to establish relationship intellectually you can have relationship

Emotionally you can have relationships so emotional relationships are always far more uh what to say more touching in your life more tender to you than body based relationships but right now we have made it like this if you are the word relationship everybody assumes that uh you know you have a body based

Relationship I’m even afraid to use that word if I say uh I have a good relationship with Alexander people will think something else do you think that emotional relationship will be or can be more powerful than body relationship obviously bodies can only have encounters not relationships it takes a mind and

Emotion to have a relationship isn’t it yeah and it is very powerful if you invest your emotions in something only then life becomes powerful and re you know meaningful for you to [Laughter] Exist
