Description

Acharya Prashant explains that love is simply a healthy relationship, and a healthy relationship is only possible when an individual is healthy. He defines a healthy being as one who is not restless, suffering, or in constant tension, but is instead settled and peaceful within. This internal health and completeness naturally reflect in all of one's relationships, and that reflection is what is called love. He challenges the notion that one needs to 'become' healthy, asserting that everyone is already inherently healthy. He argues that the desire to become something implies its absence, which leads to the false belief that one is sick. Sickness is not anyone's nature; it is merely layers of dust or conditioning that can be easily blown away. Health is our unconditional state, existing without the need for education, training, or books. It is the natural state of freedom, joy, and truth that all of existence inherently knows. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that freedom is health because no one can ever truly like bondage or slavery. Similarly, joy and truth are our nature because no one likes misery or falsehood. The belief that we are unhealthy stems from societal voices telling us we must achieve or become something. While 'becoming' is acceptable in minor matters, in the essential matters of life, the constant urge to become something else is a disease based on a false assumption. He concludes by reassuring that while moods may fluctuate, deep within, every individual is good and illuminated.
