What is a relationship of love? || Acharya Prashant, with youth (2015)

Listener: In the previous activity we have learned what Love is not, then what Love is?

Acharya Prashant: That same activity sheet also contained a paragraph on that. Didn’t it?

L: Sir, but they were just the reciprocate; the opposite of what love is not. It didn’t actually explained what love is.

AP: (nodding his head in dismissal) It did. It very clearly did that. Is anybody carrying that sheet?

Even looking at that sheet will be a good experience. Read the last paragraph – what is love? Now, give it to me. Let me read it aloud.

Pay attention. Last paragraph, last heading and that’s why it has been highlighted in another color. Do you see that?

It starts by saying, “Love is the action of an immersed mind.” What is love? Love is the action of an immersed mind. Love is the relationship with the other, simple?

Love this beautiful explanation of what love is?Generally people don't have good relationship with thereself that's why their relationship with others is awful and pathetic. So learning is firstly always have a good relationship with ourself.

Why Does Your ‘Love’ Hurt When You Don’t Get Anything Back?

10min242reads182

We often call something “help” or “love” while secretly expecting something in return. When that return does not come, we feel hurt, revealing that the relationship was a trade, not genuine help. The ego, being unfulfilled, cannot truly love or share. Likewise, desperation to be loved makes us controllable. Real love emerges when we stop seeking validation, work on ourselves, and become so inwardly fulfilled that we no longer need to be loved.

Can Science Explain True Love?

19min143reads4

True love is not a biological instinct, emotional attachment, or social conditioning. Biology and science explain the body's drives, but they cannot explain the self that seeks freedom. Love is the inner restlessness to move from ignorance and bondage toward truth and liberation. Religion is not rituals or inherited beliefs but this personal journey of understanding. Freedom—not possession or conformity—is the essence of both love and religion.

The Real Test of Love: When Truth Risks the Relationship

14min198reads7

Truth cannot be forced upon anyone, but neither should falsehood be entertained. Genuine love is not about preserving relationships at any cost; it is about helping oneself and others break free from illusion, even if that means risking the relationship itself. Spiritual growth begins by questioning conditioning, examining falsehood without bias, and choosing authenticity over comfort. Real relationships are built on the courage to seek freedom, not convenience.
