The speaker (Hari Sa) asserts that the propensity for social rules is humanity's central dharma; social progress and civilization in a country correspond to how mature and rooted those social rules are. He claims the Arya (Aryan) branch—particularly the Indian Aryan branch—has exhibited greater education, intellect, and social progress historically, and notes current weakness due to age and foreign domination does not erase past respect. He illustrates universality of social rules with marriage examples (majority marry; small minorities cohabit), citing Argentina and an anecdote about a woman who lived with a man for eight years until a marriage request caused him to leave.

Hari Sa Continuation Social rules. Social rules. The propensity for social rules is the main dharma of mankind. In all countries, at all times. The activities for this dharma can be seen among mankind. To the extent the social progress and the propensity of civilization of the human beings in a country to that extent that in that country the social rules are mature and rooted. It is universally accepted that among all nations the social progress and civilization of the Arya caste. Arya caste is greater among the branches of the Aryan race. Is there any doubt that the education, intellect and social progress of the Indian Aryan branch has been the greater? Just because this Arya branch is nowadays weak due to old age and has become subject to other nations it will not be defect for their respect in society. So every human society has got a certain rule. I think example of marriage. So I think the example of marriage was given in Kashadesh. Do they have marriage? Yes. So what you and I tell yesterday Even I give the example. In South America, in Argentina there are people who live together even without getting married. The majority of people get married, but majority of people get married. A small minority don't bother. Only small minority don't bother has a very strong so in Slovenia and other place what was the last one they have to face the problem. One lady, she was living for eight years. So one lady she was living for eight years or something with a man. I want to see. I and when she asked to get married, the man left. So what is Ella residing us Some rules. So each human society has some rules? Hardly so Bhakti. And it's normal for mankind to have some rules.
