Acharya Prashant explains that attachment promises to remove loneliness, but this removal typically occurs only in a state of unconsciousness. He asserts that if one maintains consciousness while with another person, the sense of loneliness persists. Consequently, people often choose to become unconscious in the company of others to feel that their loneliness has vanished. He notes that relationships often depend on this mutual lack of awareness; if one partner becomes conscious, the relationship may collapse because the roles of husband, wife, or mother are rooted in bodily identification rather than pure consciousness. He further explains that true relief from loneliness comes when consciousness is elevated, citing the relationship between Shri Krishna and Arjun as an example where loneliness is removed through rising awareness. He discusses the Samkhya Yoga philosophy, stating that the correct relationship between the observer and nature is one of silent observation. One should appreciate the beauty of nature from a distance without becoming entangled or attached. He concludes that while involvement leads to destruction, remaining a silent witness to nature's play brings true bliss.
