In response to a question about finding a spiritual partner, as described by Sri Aurobindo, Acharya Prashant explains that the process is the same as finding the right Guru. It depends on what you are seeking from the person. If you get what you are seeking, you are with the right person. If you are just looking for decent looks or someone to accompany you to the movies, then anybody would do. But if you are really looking to not make a waste of your life, and for someone who refreshes you and gives you freedom from the staleness you carry within, then you will find the right person. The right partner is not determined by their attributes, but by the intensity of your own hunger and inquiry. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that the essence of the question you ask your partner must be the same as the one you ask a Guru, because the essence of the suffering is the same. The purpose of any relationship, whether with a mother, father, or even a pet, must be one: to become better inwardly and to come out of the inner haze. Every single thing you do must be measured against the standard of whether it will liberate you from your bondages and ignorance. He states that we exist in agony, and therefore, we exist for liberation. One must be absolutely one-minded on that, with no wavering or second thoughts. The speaker cautions against romanticizing the search for a partner. He states that your angst has to choose its doctor, implying that we are all sick and need a partner who can act as a healer. However, people are unwilling to acknowledge their sickness, preferring the fantasy of a discotheque over the reality of a hospital. This leads to relationships built on mutual deception. To avoid this, one must test a potential partner through their own deep inquiry. The utility of having depth is that you do not fall prey to shallowness. If men lack depth and women still fall for them, it raises questions about the depth of the women as well. Regarding using one's talents, like singing, for a higher purpose, Acharya Prashant advises to question if that talent is the most efficient means to the ultimate end. He uses the example of Meera Bai, whose devotional songs were effective because they were completely aligned with her love for Shri Krishna. For her, Krishna was primary and the songs were secondary. If asked to choose between her songs and Krishna, she would have chosen Krishna. If singing is the best way to the goal, one should continue, but if it becomes more important than the goal itself, then it is a problem.
