Acharya Prashant explains that families will continue to exist as long as humans operate from a state of body-consciousness. When a person identifies with their body, they will see others as bodies too, which creates a strong temptation for seclusion with another person. This act of separating from the world to be alone with someone in a private corner, or home, is the basis of family formation. This process is a natural play of 'prakriti' (nature) and is unlikely to change for all of humanity at once. The relationship between a man and a woman, founded on this body-consciousness, is the cornerstone of the family. The speaker describes this foundation as a folly of the body. A key sign of such false relationships is the need for isolation from the rest of the world to feel a sense of oneness. While romanticized, statements like "I've forgotten the world for you" are poisonous because they signify that the other is seen merely as a body. This perspective inevitably leads to exploitation and violence, with body-consciousness being the root of this violence. This cycle of forming exclusive bonds continues, and thus the family as an institution persists. Given that families exist, the speaker advises making the environment within them as spiritual as possible. It is better to become conscious through one's own efforts, as this leads to less suffering. Waiting for life to teach its lessons is uncertain because life, or nature, is a harsh teacher without compassion for the individual. A teacher of consciousness, however, is compassionate. Life operates on the impersonal law of karma and does not guarantee that one will survive its lessons. The speaker points out that many families lack a spiritual atmosphere because modern comforts create a delusion that spirituality is unnecessary. However, this external happiness is fragile and not the same as internal joy. This external sense of well-being can be shattered at any moment, as evidenced by recent global events. The speaker concludes by reiterating that while families will continue to exist, it is crucial to cultivate a spiritual environment within them. He explains that the thinking of a family is flawed on two levels: firstly, what they consider happiness is merely external pleasure, not internal joy, as evidenced by the mental disorders prevalent even in affluent families. Secondly, this external happiness is very fragile and can disappear in an instant. Therefore, it is wise to introduce spirituality into family life.
