I think the first question as such is something that happened in recent time so I'm pretty sure everyone knows about section 377 being dehumanized yeah and I think most of the youth everyone how me and most of us would have gone back home we are very happy about this and we talk to our parents and people from the older generation right so this is something that I do with my parents on a regular basis we shouldn't we discuss a lot of topics so this is something that happened to me and something that I've heard from a lot of people as well so when we discuss something like this with our older generation they said we are not going to debate with you as such we're not going to impose our perspectives on you but this is not accepted in our religion right so when I took a step back and I thought how difficult it would be for kids for youth from the LGBT community to come out to their parents and at the same time when the parents poses a restriction that it is not accepted in our religion how does a child and how does a parent deal with it and sometimes a parent does cut off from their child as well so you just want to know your perspective on you know the LGBT community or homosexuality as such with religion and at the same time how a parent and a child should deal with it because I think a relationship between a parent and child is so important right and to lose something on that lines is not something see probably till now largely in the social space in the media space in the social media space everybody is pitching either for or against can we for some time not pitch for or against and simply look at the issue as it is can we look at me I'm not a prude okay the be clear so when we say sexuality let's understand this it is something nature has put in us because there is something called as perpetuation of the races or the species otherwise it won't happen of course we being human beings having more brains than body supposed to because of that we kind of eliminated the reproductive part and just using the pleasure part of it right this is sexuality right now largely in the world but essentially this pleasure also is coming to the sexuality process because otherwise well if there was no pleasure to it maybe we wouldn't be born to you and me our present parents would not have gone into it if there was no pleasure at all attached yes or no so we are here because of that so there is no denying it or putting it under the carpet that's not the thing but somebody has a certain kind of sexual preference which has got nothing to do with reproductive process as such it is their personal preference because every individual has the right to do whatever the hell they want to do with their body because it's their body but if it is something harmful you want to cut your nose off or you want to cut something else off then maybe we will try to prevent you but you are not causing any harm to yourself in that way then it's your business as long as you threw something in your private right now the Supreme Court decision is just that that what a person does in their private space is nobody's business government need not enter people's bedrooms that is the law all right and I think it's right but at the same time why so many of you are upset about it or for it or against it is simply because there is been a campaign around the world I'm saying the campaign should stop there may be a few people who are oriented that way leave them alone it's their business all right even if you're a heterosexual you don't go about talking it on the street hello you don't isn't it because private matters must be handled that way unless you give some sanctity to this body please understand this the fundamental difference between animal nature and human nature is this we are doing the same things that they do they are not living they go around they reproduce they die we also do the same thing we think a lot about it and we make a whole lot of fuss about it but we are doing the same thing only difference is we can do all these things of eating sleeping reproducing everything more consciously because of that we hold our sips little different from the other creatures otherwise what's a big difference you may think there's a difference other animals are looking at you thinking what about you isn't it so this is the fundamental process now individual people have some choices I don't think it needs to become a national or international issue it's their business what they're doing but at the same time there is no need to campaign for it or against it there's no need to campaign against it there is no need to campaign for it if you allow nature to take its course the percentage of people who will fall that we are extremely saw small but because of a whole campaign going on in the world the number of people entering that space has become bigger much bigger than what it should be having said that your parents being upset about it or not coming to terms with it if they are doing it for religious reasons well there may be a lot of trash in every religion there is but there is also some wisdom gathered over the times in every religion yes sir so this wisdom some people are calling it religion some people are looking at just sensibly and doing what they have to do some people read religious texts and come to this wisdom because they are not able to figure it out themselves so do you have to agree with all the things that they say in the religion no but do you have to simply blanket disagree with everything that will be foolish because human experience cannot be thrown away isn't it thousands of years of human cultural experience cannot be just thrown away we have to take what is sensible and what is not so when it comes to this aspect they know the consequence of this see when you're at this age the most attractive word is freedom hello well I come from the 60s you know what 60s so freedom is the word in this but since then I have looked at human mind in so many ways the moment you are to the word freedom people will end up doing freaky things because freedom is a consequence it is not a thing that you do see freedom is not an act freedom is a consequence of how I experience my life freedom comes out of a responsible existence if you think of the consequence without taking care of the process you will always end up as a disaster I must tell you this well at least 12 to 15 of close friends that I had when I was growing up they all died before their 35 well some of them you know because we were living on motorcycles they got killed in the motorcycles breast drank themselves to death others drugged themselves to death at least 12 to 14 people who are very close to me who are around me all died before their 35 because freedom you understand freedom was the real thing they became free free and they became free that is definitely freedom so one thing that young people should learn is don't utter the word freedom because freedom is a consequence it's something that you have to earn it doesn't come as a philosophy in 60s we thought it's a philosophy if you live responsibly you will see freedom will come and I say responsibly not in the sense of civic responsibility if you retain your ability to respond to life without any prejudice without any restriction you will see you will become free your ability to respond if it is unlimited it is freedom isn't it now coming to this religious resistance there's nothing religious about this sexuality is a biological process yes the very fact the nature created opposites it has some intention well some people didn't take two natural ways it's okay it's their choice we don't have to discriminate against them we don't have to persecute them we don't have to put them in the prison definitely it's not necessary but at the same time it doesn't need promotion either now when I say freedom and responsibility this is like this see suppose you want flowers in your garden if you sit in your garden and every day do flower meditation flowers will not come if you want flowers you don't have to even think about flowers you must think soil menu water sunlight soil doesn't feel like a flower menu doesn't smell like a flower water doesn't look like a flower sunlight doesn't feel like a flower but if you take care of these things flowers will happen isn't it this is the way life works so the important thing with our lives is this is a very westernized approach that we are looking at the goal we won the product we don't want the process no if you devote it to the process if you truly devoted to the process that you're doing right now you will naturally do your best everything that you have result will come out result will come on it'll come just because you sit here and desire the result it's not going to come you will only have plastic flowers in your head full of flowers will not grow in your garden so this is the time of life I'm surprised you know like it's not just you just about anywhere I go young people are asking only this question what this means is they are trying to live too early see this is a time to grow this is a time to enhance yourself because your ability to enhance yourself and roe will not be the same after 10 years believe me your ability to learn will not be the same your ability to grow physically emotionally intellectually and in consciousness will not be the same after 10 to 15 years time so this is the time to grow when it's time to grow if you try to live too much some life you want to taste but if you try to live too much you can see your growth will be impeded and your life will be stunted in so many different ways so it's very important young people focus on growth because we are seeing this you know like I've traveled across the United States many of these universities it brings tears to me when I see how it is I'm glad at least in India most of the students are sober in the daytime really I'm telling you in top universities day time they're all gone so we're becoming slaves of Commerce because people have intentions to do their own thing they're just enslaving the people young people because they want to sell their brand because it seems the early age if you get used to a certain kind of beer that's what you're going to drink for the less rest of your life yes they have done research on this universities have done researches on this and they're supplying free beer in the school tell me does it take a genius to understand that if I open a book which is of some complexity and I want to grasp this if I'm intoxicated can I grasp it hello is it does it take a genius to understand this I'm asking so you don't have to when your parents say something they may refer to their religion because they think it's an authority you take away the authority just listen to the words if it makes sense do it it doesn't make sense tell them politely that's not the way it is with me all right [Music]
