Acharya Prashant addresses the societal obsession with marriage, particularly for young women, labeling it a minor issue compared to the larger goal of living a conscious life. He explains that the difference between a worldly person and a wise person lies in their priorities; for the worldly, marriage is a monumental event, whereas for the wise, it is a personal choice of little spiritual consequence. He emphasizes that neither the Upanishads nor the Bhagavad Gita mandate or even mention marriage as a necessity for spiritual growth. He argues that most people follow societal patterns like marriage out of a state of unconsciousness, similar to a convoy of cars following each other blindly through thick fog without knowing the destination.
