Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of legalized prostitution by shifting the focus from its legality to the root cause of its existence. He argues that the debate over legalization often centers on providing legal protection and rights to sex workers, but the fundamental question is why the demand for prostitution exists in the first place. He posits that society is composed of individuals who pretend to be moral and cultured while suppressing their animalistic instincts. This hypocrisy creates a divide between one's outward social persona and inner desires, leading to the emergence of brothels as outlets for suppressed lust. He emphasizes that neither animals nor enlightened beings require brothels; they are a product of a 'moral' society that lacks true spirituality. He further explains that prostitution is not limited to physical acts in brothels but extends to any relationship or transaction where the body or intellect is sold for material gain without love. He defines prostitution as the selling of the body for material benefit, suggesting that even working in an office solely for money or engaging in transactional personal relationships can be seen as forms of it. According to him, the only cure for this societal ailment is spirituality and self-knowledge. Without spiritual growth, individuals remain trapped in gender identities and suppressed desires, making genuine, effortless relationships impossible. He concludes that true education and self-awareness would naturally dissolve the need for such institutions by allowing people to find fulfillment in higher pursuits rather than being consumed by physical cravings.
