00:00My question is about live-in relationships.
00:03So what is Bhagavad Gita's and spirituality's stance on it?
00:07The Bhagavad Gita has nothing at all to say on this.
00:17And that's the beauty of true spiritual literature.
00:24It does not concern itself with trivialities.
00:30These are petty things.
00:33You decide for yourself.
00:35The job of the teacher, the sage, the guide, the preceptor
00:42is to illuminate your consciousness.
00:46After that, it's your life and your decisions.
00:49They are not going to get into nitty-gritty, micro-things, nuts and bolts business.
00:55They'll not tell you which clothes to wear.
00:59They'll not tell you which direction to sleep in.
01:02They'll not tell you what food to eat.
01:06And if there is an organization, an institution or a court that is doing it,
01:13it can be anything but religious.
01:15Yes.
