They aren't bachelors, they are wannabe husbands || Acharya Prashant, with Delhi University (2023)

Questioner (Q1): Hello, sir. Good evening. My name is Poorak Singh. And so, my question is regarding being single in India. Sir, your movement promotes antinatalism, which led to a lot of people remain single and go against marriage. So, if we talk about in India, singles have to face through a lot of challenges like renting a house or housing society, housing society keeping eye on them and tracking them oftenly. Their argument is that the singles can make any mistake any day. So, my question from you is that, how would you suggest them to deal with such preset notions?

Acharya Prashant (AP): Have you gone through such experiences?

Q1: Not yet, sir, because I am living in a parent's site/ right (2:02 incomprehensible word) now.

AP: See, it's a small price to pay, isn't it? I am sorry I didn't get your name.

Q1: Sir, my name is Poorak Singh.

AP: Poorak, this is such a small price to pay, is it not? No? Let's gladly pay this price. There is nothing in it. Think of the travails of a normal married person, now compared to his situation, the situation of a bachelor and the consequent challenges of a bachelor are just about nothing. And you cannot have everything. There will be a price to pay.

And then you can accept whatever price you have to pay for that most important thing. So it all starts from you. what is really important is a subjective thing. It depends on you. Nobody else can tell it.

We keep carrying the unexamined burden of the past all our life. That’s a great problem that we have. 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 Sacrifice More in Relationships?

11min3.2kreads6913

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.
