"Except you don't have to do that any longer, or couldn't if you wanted to," I replied. "It is quite impossible to do that. The already existing universal marriage of humanity that includes you too makes that impossible. You are a member of the universal family of humanity. You can't escape that reality. Also, there exist no demarcation lines in this universal marriage in which we are all united as human beings. The only demarcation that exists there exists in the form that reflects our sovereignty. Wisdom sets up certain lines drawn in the sand for our protection. According to what you have already pointed out, you understand the principle of universal sovereignty quite well, which is a part of our universal marriage as human beings."

      "Yes, but that goes against the grain of all the marriage laws in India, and against our customs and rites," said Indira. "Of course I love it! I celebrated when Fred explained that someone was coming to tell me about this new and liberating concept of universal marriage, because it matched what I understood about the universal sovereignty of the human being. I loved you for that, even before I have seen you. The principle that you represent seems so right."

      "Did you also realize," I asked, "that if you acknowledge that fundamental reality that already exists, you'll find it unnecessary to ever live alone again, and without being bound into an institutional marriage to someone who would own you? The old marriage model that demands that would deny the principles that you now recognize as the reality of your being. But even as you close your door to that, you open it wide to the universal freedom to be touched by the love of the whole world. When you close the door to the small, you open it to the infinite where your self-denial is no longer possible, nor required. The riches of our humanity comes to light then as the result of advanced scientific perceptions, the kind that Mary has put on the table a hundred years ago, that a friend of mine and I had recently discovered."

      Indira nodded slightly. "Yes, Peter, I think I did realize that. I also realized something else a long time ago already, that a religion that forbids this reality from unfolding, is essentially a trap. It smothers a people."

      "There is evidently no truth in doctrines of a religion when the priests, themselves ride rough shod over it, as you told me that they do in the way they tread the Dalit women," I interjected.

      "It's not just that," said Indira quietly. "Our religious laws demand impregnable marriages, while the village priest who represent those laws, embrace the prostitution of Dalit women whom the Thevars generously share with them after the Thevars had their rape. Name me one religion that stands up for what a human being is, the love that our humanity represents, a religion that stands up for universal love! In fact, name me one religion that recognizes the universal marriage of humanity, and the universal sovereignty of the individual human being. I don't think such a religion exists. A religion can't represent that, right? That perception is only possible on a scientific platform. Can you find a religion that defines mankind in terms of universal divine Principle? That kind of religion doesn't exist. Some try to point in that direction, but the movement always fades into blind faith, some form of wizardry, and a general denial of our divine nature as human beings. The freedom of our humanity as a universal principle goes against the grain of all the religious that aim to dominate with terror doctrines."

      "Religion shapes the way people think," I replied, "but it leaves out the truth. Science paves the way to the truth. If religion were to represent the truth, the subjugation of the Dalits would have ended long ago, because it would have been an impossibility to maintain the hypocrisy involved."
