Acharya Prashant: Women like burly guys. Why do they like burly and big and muscular guys? Because they are likely to have a higher level of testosterone. Unless you have testosterone, you cannot build muscles, right? And that is why you cannot build muscles, let's say after 50 or 60. That's very difficult. Salman Khan is likely to lose his muscle now. He has crossed 50. Because his testosterone level is now dropping. And if you have big muscles using testosterone then it's a good sign for your ability to reproduce. And that's why women are trained to have a soft corner or let's say hard corners for big biceps. They think it's the big bicep that attracts them, what they don't understand is that Prakriti is using them to find someone more likely to have a high sperm count. That's what you call as love. A girl looking for a boy with a high sperm count.
Same with the men. What do you call beautiful in a woman? Her curvature, her hips, breasts—all of that just makes her just conducive for bearing a child. Exactly that which qualifies her to bear a child is taken as beautiful by you. So, all that you are looking for is someone who is going to be quite fertile. That's what Prakriti is making you look at.
You look at all that and then say, "Yeah! she is quite beautiful". Prakriti has distorted your entire definition of beauty.
In your eyes, beauty is that which is conducive to childbirth. And you don't even know that, you aren't conscious of that, it's all happening below the radar. You don't know that, so you say "I have fallen in love". "You know what, baby, I love the way you walk." More honest are those who simply say, which one was that?
Questioner: I am in love with the shape of you.
Acharya Prashant: I am in love with the shape of you. That's a more honest admission. Your shape tells me that you would be a good mother to my child. So, that's what you are looking for.
Now, why do we want commitment? Because not only you want sex, you also want an uninterrupted and guaranteed supply of sex. That is what you call a commitment. "Not only should you be with me for one night, assure me, that I will find you on the bed every night." That's commitment. You will not say that because it is so bloody disgusting to hear. But that's the intention. That's what you call as loyalty or commitment or whatnot. Prakriti wants you to have it three times a day. And if you must have it three times a day then the supply must be assured. And how to assure the supply? Through commitment and loyalty. If there is no commitment, then he may run away, or she may run away. Of course, even with commitment because the objective of Prakriti is not that you keep having sex with one person, her objective is that you become pregnant, doesn't matter who the father is. The child must come, the species must be furthered. It doesn't matter where the furtherance is coming from.
That's what Prakriti is asking you to do and that is why adultery is so common. Because you are not designed to restrict yourself to one person. You are designed to just have it anywhere. How does the brand of the bread matter? The hunger matters. "It's okay! Naan is alright, garlic naan is also alright. If you can't have anything then bring me some stuffed kulcha. Nothing is available then I will go home to play with tava-roti. What matters is the hunger." That's what Prakriti has trained you to do. Just appease your hunger. Just quench your thirst.
