Acharya Prashant addresses the common perception of marriage as a social obligation or a biological necessity for reproduction. He clarifies that he is not against the institution of marriage itself, but rather against the toxicity and suffering that often arise from unconscious unions. He defines marriage simply as two people living together, which is not inherently problematic. However, he warns that most marriages become a burden because they are entered into without awareness, driven by physical attraction and societal pressure, leading to a 'poisonous' relationship that hinders spiritual growth.
