Acharya Prashant addresses the question of whether pre-marital or casual physical intimacy is right by challenging the underlying assumption that post-marital intimacy is inherently acceptable. He argues that the marital status of a relationship is irrelevant; what truly matters is the quality of the encounter and the state of mind of the individuals involved. He points out that even within marriage, there can be violence, exploitation, and a lack of actual love, which makes such unions abominable. He critiques societal and religious sanctions that label marital relations as sacred regardless of their quality, noting that even legal systems struggle to recognize marital rape because of fears regarding the collapse of the family system. He emphasizes that the real issue is the lack of conscious individuals and the prevalence of unconsciousness in both pre-marital and post-marital arrangements. Acharya Prashant advocates for an awakened and spiritually literate society where individuals are educated and mentored rather than policed or regulated. He suggests that when people understand their own consciousness, the nature of lust, and the purpose of life, they will naturally make right decisions regarding their partners and bodies. He stresses that maturity is the hallmark of youth and that society is responsible for raising mature individuals through self-knowledge and liberation rather than conditioning. He explains that body identification, rooted in being assigned a gender at birth and reinforced by language and social stereotypes, is a primary obstacle. He concludes that while one is born with a specific biology, the purpose of life is to transcend gender and body-centricity to reach a state of liberation and truth, which are gender-neutral.
