There are many, many questions, so I will try to answer them. Many, many questions are about partnership, and I have spoken about this many times before. So, as long as possible, be happy. It is a serious thing, but its meaning is lost in culture and in education. The meaning of marriage is lost. There are some who try to keep it, but there are some who do not. It is like Śiva. He told Pārvatī, "Don’t sleep." So Śiva is our inner self, the Divine consciousness, and Pārvatī is the devotion. But when ignorance comes and ego comes, then she sleeps and misses the chance. It means the sleep of ignorance. Here, sleep is ignorance. You take it too easy, and you think others don’t know. But Śiva knows everything. That’s it. But there are some who are very alert. Their energy, their power is very great. Even Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, they surrender to that, to such a śakti. That’s called mātṛ-śakti, sati-śakti. But this is lost today. Broken. A beautiful glass vase was kept generation after generation as a tradition, a culture, a memory, an inheritance. But now, generations are not capable of keeping it. It falls down and splits into many parts. The mala is broken, and the pearls are scattered. "Two days lived with you. Now you don’t know in which direction he’s gone." That’s a beautiful bhajan. A very, very nice bhajan. The mala is broken. The pearls are scattered. We were together for two days. Now, no one knows where it’s gone. The flame is blown out. You don’t know where the flame is. Milk is spoiled. You don’t know where the butter is now. That’s it. Śiva tried his best. Śiva tried very hard. The poor man, he renounced everything for her, so instead of that, he came into trouble. The boys, I tell them, don’t renounce anything. Let it be. Hari Om Tat Sat.
