Description

Acharya Prashant explains that there is a hierarchy of values where physical existence is usually at the top, but one should find something more valuable than the body to live or die for. He suggests that instead of asking what is worth dying for, one should focus on augmenting the quality of their love and not settling for the mediocre or traditional. Love is the highest respect one can offer, and one should figure out the highest and fall in love with it, whether it is a person, a cause, or a mission. He points out that when one finds something truly lovable, the body and physical security are no longer the primary concern. He observes that most people are drifters who make choices based on trends, social expectations, or biological hormones rather than love. He defines love as both a tribute to something immense and a medicine for one's own condition. He emphasizes that awareness should be brought to youngsters as early as possible, using every available platform like social media and schools. He notes that young people have a natural urge to know about deep subjects like the soul and the nature of reality, and they will respond if the message is delivered with intensity.
