Acharya Prashant addresses the conflict between spiritual detachment and family life, explaining that what people commonly call 'family' is fundamentally rooted in bodily identification. He argues that familial bonds are primarily based on physical relationships and biological reproduction, which he describes as being centered on the body's reproductive organs. He asserts that the more one identifies with the body, the more one remains enslaved to a small circle of relatives, leading to selfishness and helplessness. He emphasizes that true spirituality is not against the family but against the false identification with the body that limits one's sense of belonging to just a few people.
