Acharya Prashant clarifies that love is not the meeting of two souls, as the soul is indivisible and singular; rather, it is the absence of personal calculation and ego. True love cannot be measured or identified by one's own standards, because the moment it is measured, the ego has intervened. Love is authentic only when it leaves one astonished and bewildered, acting in ways that defy previous habits, fears, or logic. It is a state that shakes a person out of their established patterns and leaves them without a history or a future, often described by saints as an incurable 'disease' that one accepts with a smile despite being in a state of 'foolishness' or total surrender.
