Acharya Prashant explains that the bitterness often found at the end of romantic relationships stems from a desire for security and possession. When individuals seek longevity in a relationship, they are essentially seeking control, which is rooted in fear rather than love. True love, he argues, is an upward glance that makes one forget themselves and their desires. It is not something to be consumed or pre-planned; rather, it is a state where the future is dismissed because the ego has disappeared. He critiques the commercialization of days like Valentine's Day, noting that real love is unknown even to the lover and cannot be captured by shopkeepers or specific dates. Addressing the concept of 'Cow Hug Day' as a cultural reaction, Acharya Prashant describes it as a juvenile gesture lacking true compassion. He points out the hypocrisy in claiming to love cows while continuing to support the dairy industry, which involves the exploitation and eventual slaughter of these animals. He asserts that if one truly loved the cow, they would drop all dairy products immediately. He emphasizes that selective love for one animal is not true compassion and that token gestures like hugging a cow for social media are disrespectful to the animal. Ultimately, he encourages moving beyond infantile ideas and cultural reactionism toward a life of freedom and self-knowledge.
