”— And in economics, we have read Marshall’s economics. He gives, “The economic development takes place by family affection.” Therefore in India, the father-mother takes the responsibility of the son, to make him a family man. Then leave, marry. Father-mother knows that he’ll take care of his life automatically. And the boy and the girl are not allowed to mix with the second girl, second boy. They are kept strictly. And when they’re grown up, they’re allowed to mix and the affection becomes firm. These are psychology. It is the psychology of woman that before puberty if she has got a boy, she loves forever. She’ll never be unchaste. So these marriage things are done very psychologically, scientifically, so that they may become happy, and then, in a peaceful mind, combine together, good cooperation, they make progress, spiritual. This is the plan, varnasrama-dharma. Very scientific. And Krsna says, “I am that.” Whatever Krsna shall give — perfect. Nobody cares. They are suffering.
