Acharya Prashant addresses a query from a woman who feels trapped in a four-year relationship where her partner prioritizes physical intimacy over emotional connection. He begins by challenging the notion that either party truly understands love, asserting that what is often labeled as 'physical love' is merely lust or sexual desire disguised by language. He defines true love as the sincere desire for the well-being and betterment of the other person, rather than the exploitation of their body for personal gratification. He argues that if a relationship does not lead to mental growth, reduced anxiety, or the removal of fear and greed, it is not love but a form of usage that leaves the individual feeling 'used' and mentally unclean. He further explains that love is not a natural or biological instinct driven by hormones, but a profound skill that must be learned and earned through rigorous self-discipline and spiritual practice. He critiques the common misconception that love is spontaneous or youthful, stating that true love often deepens with age and wisdom. According to him, love requires a clean and fearless mind capable of placing another's welfare above one's own ego. He concludes by stating that love is the path toward liberation from one's own bondages and delusions; if a relationship does not transform an individual into a better, more evolved version of themselves, it does not qualify as love.
