Acharya Prashant addresses the term used for women, "someone else's wealth" (paraya dhan), by questioning why a woman is considered "wealth" (dhan) in the first place. He explains that wealth is an inanimate object without its own consciousness, always under someone else's ownership. To use someone according to one's will, it's necessary to strip them of their consciousness and turn them into an object. He asserts that a woman is not anyone's property but an independent consciousness and a human being first. He connects this societal mindset to the lack of female participation and success in sports. If girls are not encouraged to play in their homes, streets, and schools, they cannot reach the Olympics. He gives examples of a mother-in-law telling her daughter-in-law to stop watching cricket and make rotis, or girls being discouraged from going to the gym for fear of their bodies becoming less soft and their shoulders broadening, making them undesirable to men. He argues that society fears strong women because they cannot be controlled, and sports develop both physical and mental strength. The primary contribution expected from women is often limited to managing the household and procreation, rather than developing their own identity. Regarding relationships, Acharya Prashant states that as long as you feel a great need for love from someone else, it indicates a lack of love within you. Love is not about taking or asking, but an expression of one's own completeness; it is about giving. He considers asking for love a form of subtle violence. Instead of asking if someone loves you, the focus should be on whether you have love within you and are worthy of giving it. He explains that the rise in divorce rates is because people, especially women, now have the right to separate, a right they lacked in the past due to fear. While acknowledging that parental separation affects children, he argues that it is worse for them to grow up in a conflict-ridden household. He believes it is not natural for any two people to be forced to stay together for life, and if a mistake is made in choosing a partner, it is better to separate than to endure lifelong suffering. When asked why he speaks in Hindi despite his English-medium background, Acharya Prashant explains that his goal is to make the highest knowledge accessible to everyone, including the last person in society. He notes the deep connection between language and economic status in India, and states that if he only spoke in English, he could never reach the poor, deprived, and oppressed sections of society. His mission is not to remain confined to an elite group but to reach the masses, which is why he chooses to speak in the language of the land.
