Acharya Prashant addresses the question of how to distinguish between true love and physical desire. He suggests that the questioner is the best judge and already knows the answer by comparing his feelings for a female friend with those for his male friends, for whom he presumably feels no physical attraction. If one's thoughts about a person are predominantly focused on their physicality, it is clear proof that the relationship has a strong physical dimension. He advises self-inquiry, asking, "What are you relating to the other as?" and "What is it in the other person that you feel attracted or related to?" If one thinks of the person primarily as a body, then the relationship has a strong bodily component. Regarding the possibility of a breakup, Acharya Prashant explains that one does not "break up" with friends. A truly healthy, person-to-person relationship may change in its course, color, or warmth, but a total severing of ties is hardly a possibility. He states that a total breakup only occurs in very low-quality, unhealthy relationships, which he likens to a "shop and customer" dynamic. In such a dynamic, one is essentially "shopping for people," and if they don't get what they desire, they simply walk away. This, he asserts, is disrespectful to both individuals and indicates the relationship was unhealthy from the start. In a genuine friendship, even if its nature changes, a minimal connection would remain. Finally, when asked for advice on avoiding pornography and finding a better path, Acharya Prashant's core message is to have something meaningful to do in life. He explains that when a person lacks a deep, engaging purpose, they turn to lower forms of entertainment out of desperation and purposelessness. He encourages young people to use their energy to explore the world, read, gain skills, and engage with great and beautiful things. A healthy relationship is built on appreciating a person's intelligence, innocence, and admirable qualities, which are far more valuable than the physical body. When one has a great challenge to live for, there is no time or passion left for distractions like pornography.
