A young woman asks Acharya Prashant for guidance, explaining that after a period of being strictly controlled by her parents, she fell in love with a boy. Her parents disapproved, calling her feelings cheap and disgusting, leaving her confused about the nature of love. Acharya Prashant responds by questioning the need to debate whether a particular word, like 'love,' can be ascribed to a relationship. He suggests the more important question is what the relationship is doing to the individual. He argues that even if something is certified as 'love,' one would not proceed if it is not healthy. Conversely, if something is beneficial, one would not drop it just because it lacks the label of 'love.' The name does not matter; what is crucial is to be real and find out the relationship's effect on you. Acharya Prashant advises the questioner to ask whether the relationship simply makes her feel good as she is, or if it helps her become a better human being. He explains that a relationship that only feels good is not necessarily useful, comparing it to a pizza. The real test is whether the relationship is elevating, brings peace, and enables one to see with more clarity and maturity. He points out that the boy's reaction of calling her selfish for wanting a break indicates attachment, which he defines as the ego's need to cling to something. This attachment, he clarifies, is not good for the mind and is a fundamental human tendency. He further explains that attachment is rooted in the ego, which is body-identified and views the other person as a body to be consumed, which is lust, not love. He advises her to be alert to the impact the relationship has on her mind and her impact on the other person's mind. True friendship, he states, is about wishing the other well. A relationship based on attachment, however, will ultimately cause misery for both individuals. He encourages her to use this experience as an opportunity to understand the workings of the human mind.
