Acharya Prashant explains that love must necessarily begin in duality, as it acts as a bridge between the mind and its source. While love starts with sensory objects or ideas, its ultimate purpose is to dissolve the mind into its origin. He emphasizes that true love is characterized by the ability to be completely authentic and natural in someone's presence. If one feels the need to be artificial, wear a mask, or maintain a specific personality, it is not love. Love is that which brings you closer to your true self and provides freedom from bondage, rather than creating new attachments.
