Acharya Prashant discusses the cultural differences regarding personal space and physical distance, specifically comparing the etiquette in Finland with the behavior observed in India and Southeast Asia. He explains that the tendency in Indian culture to be physically close, touch others, or ask personal questions often stems from a corrupted interpretation of the teachings of saints. While the saints taught that one should not treat others as distant or alien to overcome the ego, this was meant to be a means of helping the other person get closer to the truth. This higher form of love involves knowing what is right and enabling others to live the right way. He points out that people have conveniently kept the part of the teaching about getting close to others while disregarding the essential goal of spiritual truth. This leads to a lack of personal or private space where individuals feel entitled to intrude into others' lives and ask intrusive questions about marriage or finances. Acharya Prashant critiques the popular Indian notion that Indians naturally know love even if they lack other knowledge, arguing that true love cannot exist without wisdom. He concludes that while the West understands personal love, India had access to a higher love but unfortunately reduced it to a personal and often intrusive level, which he considers a significant tragedy.
