Acharya Prashant begins by stating that all of us are like Arjun, caught in our own flesh, blood, tears, emotions, and past. Being caught in this way, we forget what our Dharma (rightful duty) is. Therefore, the Bhagavad Gita is immortal. As long as Arjun lives within us, we will continue to need Krishna. Responding to a question about why people are afraid to step out of even abusive marriages, Acharya Prashant explains that the reason is the same as why people feel compelled to get into marriages in the first place. It is the pressure to conform, to belong to the crowd, and the fear of being labeled abnormal. It is the urge not to miss out on something that has been glamorized as extremely important and central. He points out that in India, 90-95% of movies are about a man and a woman getting together. This is the value system we are given. There is the biological urge, but much more than that, it is the social norm that first pushes us into the institution of marriage and then compels us to stay there, even if it is sapping the very life out of us. The speaker notes how our lives are dictated by the forces of entertainment. We wear what Bollywood does, speak as they do, and even raise our kids as they teach us. They become our teachers, mentors, guides, and de-facto gods. If you read the Gita, there is no man-woman angle; the issues that get activated are about right action, self-knowledge, and one's relationship with the world. But if you watch a movie, the issue that gains importance is how to get a man or a woman. This ideal is ingrained in our minds from a very early age, and we are forcefully made to believe that the purpose of life is to chase a partner and settle down. This conditioning makes it impossible to even imagine a life that is not welded to someone else's. The speaker clarifies that walking alone doesn't mean you cannot be in a relationship, but it means being free from the compulsion to be in one. Most people are in relationships not out of freedom, but out of compulsion, which is why there are so many husband-wife jokes to mitigate the suffering. He emphasizes that nothing in life is irreversible, and the only thing one should never compromise on is the central purpose of life, which is liberation. Everything else is dispensable. This is why wisdom literature is so important at a young age, to provide higher ideals.
