Acharya Prashant explains that human beings are essentially animals, and the institution of marriage exists primarily to prevent chaos and anarchy in society. He argues that marriage is a social and legal necessity because most individuals lack the internal discipline required to lead a single life. According to him, humans are not born as bachelors; rather, they are born 'married' to their biological nature and tendencies, such as lust and insecurity. He describes true bachelorhood as a spiritual achievement and a 'second birth' that involves a symbolic divorce from the material nature, or Prakrti, that one is born with.
