See if two bodies are being only skin is cutting. I hold that kind of relationships with people where my life energy reverberates with their life energy. Those plants which bear fruit too early will never become full fledged trees. So the next question has been asked about aHUS, what is the right age to have a boyfriend or girlfriend? And now only once a boyfriend. It's legal. So. I think every child has boyfriends and girlfriends.

[00:00:57]

Yes, when you are three, four, five years of age, didn't you have boyfriends and girlfriends you had? Now you're giving it a new meaning to the simple friend. Well, a friend need not necessarily mean you have to get physical with them. Hello, this is something that you have picked up from certain societies where body is everything to why is it so that today it has become like this was only in United States, but today it's everywhere.

[00:01:31]

If you say a relationship, people think it's a body based relationship. Well, don't I have a relationship with you right now? Don't you have a relationship with your parents, your friends, your teachers? You don't have a relationship. Hello?

[00:01:47]

Yes, but you cannot say if you say I have a relationship with my teacher, they will think, oh, you are doing some hanky panky with your teacher.

[00:01:59]

Why have you become like this? See, the problem is just this your intelligence has been hijacked by your hormones. If I say you are my friend, that means I must mess with your body. Is that a necessity? Hello? Can't we be OK? You're a girl if you're my friend. But I can't say you're my girlfriend because it'll be understood in a different way.

[00:02:26]

Why this has happened is we are giving too much significance to body based relationships. You must understand there are relationships deeper than the body. You can hold such profound relationships with people without your body being involved in it isn't at all possible or not. Well, body based relationship may be necessary with somebody that is fine.

[00:02:52]

That's your choice. But that is only possible in a limited way. But friendship and relationships are possible at various levels with enormous number of people. Possible or not, you can hold intimate relationships with thousands of people. I have very intimate relationship is the way I'm sitting here right now. I assume a certain intimacy with you. But if I use the word intimacy, people think the body should be rubbing. See if two bodies are being only skin is touching.

[00:03:25]

All right.

[00:03:27]

Skin is the outermost core of who you are. How can that be intimate? I don't consider that intimate.

[00:03:39]

I can penetrate people, not just their minds and their emotion. They're very in their very last process, I hold that kind of relationships with people where my life energy reverberates with their life, energy that is intimate, that's really intimate. But, you know, being OK, it's maybe a necessity at a certain stage of one's life. It's OK. We are not trying to make it right or wrong. It's one's choice. But don't make that the basis of friendship.

[00:04:09]

Why can't you be friends with every girl and every boy around you?

[00:04:13]

Hello. So essentially, you're asking at what age should I go into sexually oriented relationships? Is that what you ask? But I think it'll be you will be doing a great service to yourself and to the world if you remove this boyfriend girlfriend business and call it something else. Call them your what?

[00:04:38]

Romance or your love affair or whatever, because friend, the word friend must be released from the body. It's very important. Otherwise friendships won't happen.

[00:04:50]

Everybody will be like this because if I say you're my friend, she's afraid unnecessarily, isn't it? If if I say she's my friend, she will fear. What is he up to? How is he my friend? Release the word friend from the body. It's very important that friendships happen all over the world. Body based relationships happens with another individual that's different. That's your choice. At what age? See, when you're in education, if you don't take charge of these instruments at this stage in your life, believe me, your own body, your own mind will trip you in so many ways right through your life.

[00:05:33]

You won't read them. They will write you.

[00:05:36]

That should not happen at this stage in your life. Let the focus fundamentally be on how to grow yourself to the best possible place within yourself. Don't be in a hurry to live.

[00:05:50]

Living will happen a little later. If you live too early, you will not live too well. Don't try to live too early. I am not a moralistic person to tell you. Do this, don't do this. If somebody has such a compulsive need, they can do it.

[00:06:05]

But everybody need not make it a trend that if you're in college you must have a sexually oriented relationship with somebody.

[00:06:14]

There is no compulsion like that. There is no such rule that it must be so one can grow.

[00:06:20]

That is a I have spoken this before, but I must tell you this.

[00:06:25]

Among the mango farmers, there is a practice.

[00:06:29]

If you look across India, this is well known. If you plant a mango sapling within 12, 14 months, flowering will happen when the season comes.

[00:06:40]

A mango farmer meticulously removes every flower from the plant because if you let it go, it will bear fruit.

[00:06:48]

One or two fruit will come out of this little plant.

[00:06:51]

Only those which are not allowed to fruit up to three to four years will become full blown trees and bear a lot of fruit.

[00:07:00]

Those plants, which bear fruit too early, will never become full fledged trees. So a mango farmer has this wisdom.

[00:07:08]

He keeps on nipping off every flower. Similarly, human beings should not be in a rush to live.

[00:07:15]

The important thing is before you try to live, you are in a place high enough so that life will roll out well for you.

[00:07:25]

You live too early, then it could become an uphill task all your life.

[00:07:30]

And tomorrow many turmoils are happening.

[00:07:35]

See if you go to Western universities right now. I was just at Ross Business School just this week. I was at Ross Business School then in Harvard Business School.

[00:07:42]

And if you looked at. I don't know what the percentages, but people tell me or if you just look around, you will see most of the faces.

[00:07:53]

There are Indians, Chinese and like this, only about 40 percent are Caucasian race or American white, though they are the majority population there.

[00:08:06]

Why this is happening is these Indian families and Chinese families, their children have a certain support system and they have to live with their parents until they're 25 or so till they finish university. But generally, the white families, by the time they're 18, they're out of their families. They are living with their partners. They are going through emotional stuff. They have to make some money for that. And the daily evening, they have to take care of their partners.

[00:08:35]

No time to go to the library, no time to study. All the toppers are Indians, Jewish community and Chinese you just see across the universities in the United States. So what does this mean? A whole lot of Americans are not even finishing university simply because they have a boyfriend or girlfriend going and it will not always go smooth. Things will happen daily turmoils, problems.

[00:08:59]

You know, every day these things that are happening now, you need to understand that this is a time of your life when you're at the highest level of energy at this stage in your life. If you create a certain focus and balance within yourself, this energy will translate into something fantastic.

[00:09:21]

But at this stage in your life, if you do not bring focus and balance and you earn it, let's say when you're 40, 45, you will not have the same energy. This is something that you don't understand, that they think this level of energy will be there all your life.

[00:09:36]

No, no, no. It will pass. It is just a question of eight to 12 to 15 years maximum from the age of 14 to 30. There is a certain upsurge of energy at this time. If you learn how to manage this, keep a balance and focus to your life, you bring a focus to your life. This life will function and play at a higher level of life. If you don't bring those things and you're in a hurry to live, then you will see it becomes an uphill task.

[00:10:06]

Not that you won't make it at all, you may make it, but unnecessary struggles through life. So it's individual choice. If somebody has such a strong compulsion, they may go for it. Don't make it a trend that if you're in a college, you must have a body based relationship, not necessity.
