Acharya Prashant addresses the misconception that celibacy is merely the act of remaining unmarried or avoiding sexual relations. He clarifies that true celibacy, or 'Brahmacharya', is directly related to 'Brahman' (the Ultimate Truth) and not to marriage. It is a state where one's conduct is centered in the Truth, making trivial worldly pursuits, including the obsessive chase after the opposite sex, appear foolish and childish. He critiques the societal tendency to define celibacy through the lens of lust, noting that people often label someone a celibate simply because they lack a partner or have remained unmarried, which he dismisses as a superficial and incorrect definition. He emphasizes that a true celibate is one who has reduced their ego to zero and lives entirely according to the Truth, losing interest in sensory pleasures, wealth, and status. Furthermore, Acharya Prashant explains that celibacy does not mean avoiding or hating the opposite sex, but rather maintaining a healthy relationship where the other person is seen as a conscious being and a soul, rather than an object for sexual gratification. He points out that if one still harbors greed for power, wealth, or remains in ignorance, they cannot be called a celibate regardless of their marital status. He cites Shri Ramakrishna Paramhansa as an example of a great celibate who remained married, proving that marital status does not determine one's spiritual standing. He concludes by stating that the quality of one's attraction reflects their own internal state; a person of high character will be attracted to wisdom and depth, while a person driven by base instincts will only see others as 'flesh' or tools for desire.
