Acharya Prashant explains that true love is a continuous journey toward the Truth, which is beyond time and the world. Because the traveler is worldly, they require support from within the world to move toward that which is beyond it. As the seeker progresses, they undergo constant self-change. Consequently, their worldly choices and associations must also change. If a person stagnates and remains attached to old versions of themselves or others, love becomes a habit and a form of slavery. A worthy companion is one who catalyzes your growth and freedom, whereas an unworthy one seeks to keep you frozen in time.
