Acharya Prashant defines love as an internal state of joy and clarity, free from confusion and tension. He explains that love is the 'masti' of awareness and understanding, where one exists without defenses or walls. This state of vulnerability means being fully open to existence, even at the risk of getting hurt, as those who fear being wounded cannot truly understand love. He emphasizes that love is not about finding a 'Mr. Right' to fill a sense of loneliness, nor is it about worrying what others or even a partner might think. He distinguishes true love from hormonal attractions and physical games, which he compares to sports like soccer or ping pong. While he notes there is no harm in engaging in physical relationships as part of bodily existence, he cautions against misidentifying these activities as love. True love, according to him, is a state of being in love with all of existence—including nature, animals, and parents—because there is no internal pressure or worry.
