Acharya Prashant addresses a question from a young woman who is unable to forget her ex-boyfriend after a one-year relationship and wonders if he misses her as much as she misses him. He begins by acknowledging that this is a common sentiment among young people, often accompanied by beliefs like, "If you remember someone, they are also remembering you," or, "If you get hiccups, it means someone is remembering you." He humorously dismisses these as trivial notions. The speaker deduces that the questioner is likely a student around twenty years old and advises her to focus on her studies. He then delves into the nature of her one-year "relationship," suggesting it was likely based on physical attraction. He uses the analogy of a hot cup of tea, which is desirable when it's hot, spicy, and delicious, but is discarded once it cools down and is consumed. Similarly, relationships based on fleeting physical attraction end when the initial "hotness" and novelty fade. The speaker points out that her boyfriend left her, and she is the one left in pain, highlighting the vulnerability of women in such situations. Acharya Prashant advises her to live her life correctly, which will lead to forming meaningful relationships with the right people. He suggests that her current distress is because she hasn't found a replacement yet. He explains that most relationships at her age are founded on physical attraction rather than a deeper connection of minds or souls. He encourages her to understand herself, her life, and the true nature of these relationships. He recommends engaging with scriptures and his videos to gain a deeper life education, which will help her avoid getting trapped in such painful cycles. He concludes by stating that if she truly understood the basis of her relationship, she would not be crying over a breakup but would see it as a trivial matter.
