Marriage is a plastic flower. Love is a real rose, but the real rose is beautiful in the morning; by the evening it is gone. Nobody can say when it will disappear, when the petals will start falling. Just a strong wind and it is no more, just a strong sun and it is no more. But the plastic flower will be there; come rain, come sun, come anything, the plastic flower will be there. In fact, plastic is the only permanent thing in the world.

Love deeply, love without jealousy, love blissfully and help each other to be more meditative.

Hence love is not reliable, so he created marriage.

When one is in love with existence one feels such blessing, such bliss, that it is natural to bow down in deep gratitude.
