Questioner: Hello sir, my name is Ritik.

Acharya Prashant: Hello Ritik.

Questioner: I'm a second year student from the Economics department. So I have a question. These days relationships have become very casual. Like, people meet, they come in a relationship, and then they break up in a week or more or less. Even in friendship, we find people that were once friends don't even talk to each other. Then what is the reason for all this? Why is it happening?

Acharya Prashant: See, in the language of spirituality, it is said that only the truth is timeless. Only the truth is something time cannot destroy.

Nobody else can tell it.

If you want to carry something from the past, if you want to remain related to it even today, then you have to ask: how does it benefit you? Because it’s an expensive decision to make. The purpose of life is to unburden yourself. Relate to something or somebody in a way that will help you clear away a lot of useless relationships.

Women, the way they are brought up in our country, anyway do not have much to lose. If I do not have much in life, and then there arrives a person who is attractive, earns well, is strong, then why, as a woman, will I not go for him? Your body is impelling you to take a particular decision, and you don't even know that it's coming from the body. The only solution is understanding, real, deep, honest observation of life. And this you could also call spirituality.
