Acharya Prashant explains that live-in relationships are essentially unofficial marriages, often chosen when social or economic barriers prevent formal marriage. He argues that whether one chooses marriage or a live-in arrangement, the fundamental question remains: why is there such a desperate need to be with someone? He points out that cohabitation is a sensitive matter because the power of company significantly influences one's life. Without spiritual evolution, individuals often enter relationships out of inner lack, which can lead to unhealthy dependencies or even conflict. He emphasizes that the mind is sacred and should not be easily accessible to everyone, including family and friends, as their presence constantly shapes one's direction. He advises that individuals must learn the art of aloneness before attempting to relate to others. Being comfortable with oneself prevents one from becoming a burden or a source of pathology to a partner. Acharya Prashant suggests practical ways to cultivate this strength, such as reading, traveling, and watching movies alone. By becoming complete within themselves, people can approach relationships from a place of joy and health rather than desperation. Ultimately, he encourages young people to be socially conscious and relate to the wider world purposefully, rather than isolating themselves within the narrow confines of a single romantic partnership.
