not invited to this stupid world.

I have become a mother.

This will be the beginning

my tragedy as a father,

if I invite

someone in this miserable world.

My love!

Please think a little bit.

Is the child does not want to be born?

What if he grows up and asks,

what gave birth to him at the light?

If he asks why you helped

he is born, what did you say?

Do we say:

"Forgive us, you're the product of a random union

In India sperm your father

egg and your mother? "

You know, no creature

was not created by an act of love.

We are all a product of neglect pair

at the time of sexual intercourse.

At the moment of negligence,

when a man and woman do not interrupt

act of love

at the top of his orgasm.

I'm afraid of the child who

born or a murderer, or a victim.

As half charge

for his birth, I could not answer him.

Can not you hear the baby crying?

He in his own protests against birth

in this world, clearly unable to take it

and feed in the world, which

do not even pretend to justice.

And look at his stupid mother.

She thinks that he is hungry

and puts it in his mouth parched chest.

You know, to be a father - it's like

that tell the world: "I was born,

I tried life

and she seems fine.

I feel

it is my duty - to have a baby. "

No, I'm afraid

become a father, because I feel

that it will be

my first son's betrayal.

We have come to India in the wake of

Gandhi, in the footsteps of Mother Teresa.

But I was stupid,

time came to catch up with our love.

Two frustrated man

make a philosophical journey.

I'd rather spend the night with the dogs in the street

and leave you alone with Mother Teresa.

Where are you going?

Look, sir.

You do not need a woman for the night?

Only 60 dollars.

Do you want a woman?

Listen to me!

Do not want a hot woman for the night?

If sex is important to you,

for me the importance of money.

Man would not

sell themselves. Only things are sold.

Then why do so?

I have a chair and desk chair needed.

It is worth the higher price,

if I'll be your desk.

What are these things in your room?

The gods.

How many gods you have in India?

We are 3 million.

What is this God?

It is the god of dance.

Do not smoke,

I will not breathe. Please.

Do not smoke.

And this?

It is the god of power.

I prefer the power of God.

I do not like useless gods.

Do not look at me like that. I was

embarrassing. I really want to understand

How do you get lonely

before the big bang.

What is it with you,

If you decided to create us out of nothing?

Where is your power?

What is this world that you've created?

I'm in space.

I long to be obsessed with you.

Enough freedom!

I can not bear it!

You cow standing

four legs on the ground. God - in heaven.

It is He who has created women and wine.

They say he had made it, you know?

You're nobody. But ... There is something right

the two things that you have created.

Women and wine.

Thank you for the women.

Thank you for the wine.

And I forgot to thank

you for what you have created a cigarette.

You heard me!

You came down to the ground?

Is that you? What are you doing here?

You came to see what happened to yours

servants? You came to see me?

You are so beautiful. The same person,

as we are. It is good that you are a woman.

If

I knew that I would be a believer.

It's your fault

are you filled

my head wisely, not wine.

We want to see a perfect man.

The perfect man? The car?

At a meeting with the perfect man

no one goes to the car, ma'am.

All go on foot. That's better.

He said that we'd better walk.

But we can get lost. We do not know

road. How much time do we have to go?

Foot - two days.

By car - hour.

By car in just an hour.

It would be better if we go.

You can not take us there?

- Please.

- Thank you.

But you know, my friend, I'll tell you one thing.

If you go to a perfect man,

you can see the good things. But if the

you go on foot, you will have a vision.

What kind of person

This perfect man? Say it.

The perfect man? Oh, God!

You've heard what they say about him.

He is a divine person.

You have to see it. Say

His face lights up like a flower.

Lower the window. The wind will carry it.

No, please do not open!

Please do not open the window!

A fly can fly.

We have to bring it back to the same place.

He takes us back?

He's crazy!

What's with him?

He's crazy. Let's go out.

He is coming back.

What can we do?

It reminded me

grandfather. He was a great singer.

Look.

He remembers his grandfather.

You turn around? Are you going back?

I shall return.

It is unlikely that it will take

Tell him to stop.

Why are you laughing?

Foot? Are you sure?

Do not laugh.

Tell him that we walk.

Wait. Stop, please.

We want to get out.

We want to go here.

Stop! Stop!

Why do you speak French?

Stop the car.

We want to get out. Stop the car!

I ask you to stop!

Tell him

that if he was a believer,

he would not

We disembark from the insect.

Every step we kill at least

one ant. We have to choose.

If you want to see

a perfect man,

you have to become a killer ants.

If you stop,

you will become a victim.

I am a killer.

I'm a murderer, because I go.

Forgive me, God.

God, get the ants out of my way.

I gotta go.

Dead ant.

I heard him scream.

God, can you hear the cries of your ants?

One ant died.

Two ants.

Three ant.

Four. Five.

God, are you listening? You hear them moan?

You saddened by the death of your ants?

Hello

Hello

- Do you speak in English?

- A little bit.

Sorry, what's your name?

People call me a shepherd.

We are looking for

Perfect man. Do you know where he is?

Yes, I know. Follow me.

You saw it?

I've seen it several times.

- Did you see how he's doing wonders?

- No.

Why do people doing a

a long way to see it?

Ask them.

He is an interesting man.

Do you believe in God?

Every man is his own God.

Who do you ask for help,

When you are lonely or you suffer?

Birth - suffering.

Death - suffering. Defeat - suffering.

Victory - suffering. All that we have,

all that we have, they are also suffering.

Is suffering. Desire is also suffering.

Yes, but what do you think?

Do you think God exists?

God exists or not.

If you say that God is,

what it is. If you say,

that He does not exist, then He is not.

This is his home.

Call him and wait.

If it will not be long to answer you,

do not despair. Continue to call.

Monsieur perfect man!

Monsieur perfect man!

The perfect man! Are you here?

Is there anyone over the world?

Sorry.

I had to take the cows in the shade.

Do you also live here?

Yes. Who would you like to see?

You know.

We are looking for the perfect man.

I was the name of the people.

Your name Shepherd.

Everybody calls me differently.

But you said that you saw

Perfect person a few times.

In our house there is no mirror.

Mirror creates selfishness. I saw myself

only a few times, as reflected in the water.

So what can I do for you?

My friend and ...
