Acharya Prashant explains that one should have simple, indifferent, and expectation-free relationships. He advises against nurturing desires (kamna) or hopes (asha), as they lead to sorrow. A person without hope cannot be touched by sorrow. No object (vishay) can fulfill one's hopes because the object is not what one perceives it to be; this is the meaning of emptiness (shunyata). He contrasts this with beautiful relationships that exist just for the sake of being, without any underlying purpose, noting that most relationships end when their purpose is served. Responding to a question about the natural arising of desire, Acharya Prashant cites Buddha, stating that the advice to control desire is not moral but scientific. We perceive objects through an 'internal conspiracy,' falsely believing they can complete our sense of incompleteness. If one pays close attention, it becomes clear that no object can fulfill one's desires. When this is realized, the desirer, the ego, which justifies its existence on the promise of future fulfillment, becomes invalid and must dissolve. The method to realize this is emptiness (shunyata). It is not about denying the existence of objects, which the senses perceive, but about seeing the benefit (labh) from them as empty. This leads to a state of acting 'just because' (bas yun hi), which is called suchness (tathata). He gives the example of J. Krishnamurti, who, when accused of being a guru while speaking against them, replied, 'I don't do it on purpose.' Just as a rose naturally spreads its fragrance without intention, desireless action (nishkamta) occurs when one's being and doing are one. This state is also choicelessness (nirvikalpta) and egolessness (nirahankarita).
