Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the care one takes to appease the body, along with lust and bodily vanity, is a calculated act. He states that lust is necessary to ensure one never gets liberated. One requires continuous episodes of being entangled with others in a bodily way so that the doors to liberation remain closed. This entanglement is never about the other person; it is about one's own body-identification and a conspiracy against oneself. The more one loves things within the dimension of the ego, the more one blocks their real love. The speaker points out a paradox: whenever real love is about to manifest, something in the worldly dimension, which one calls 'love', will suddenly take one away. Therefore, what is commonly called love is actually the greatest ploy to remain loveless. He asserts that this worldly love is the best and most proven method to remain totally loveless, and to have love in this world is to be totally denied of love. The story of any fallen person will have this kind of love at its center. Ultimately, the speaker concludes that nothing will take a person away from their state of bondage except real love. He humorously notes that people stay with him only until worldly 'love' takes them away, and advises the listener to remain 'loveless' in this worldly sense, calling such a state glorious.
