Acharya Prashant states that it is very difficult to form a relationship of true love, not because it is hard to find, but because true love is like an attack on the chest. He counters the common complaint that people cannot find true love by asserting that they cannot tolerate it. He asks rhetorically, if one were to find true love today, would they be able to endure it? He points out that many stories are written and poets' businesses thrive on the lament of not finding true love, blaming life for being deceptive. The speaker calls this a lie, questioning whether people are worthy or even have the intention to handle true love. He suggests that one would not be able to stand before a true lover for even two days and would run away. Instead of love, people desire delusion and deception. They want someone who can keep them in beautiful deceptions and colorful dreams. They seek a partner who will tell them, "You are not cunning, you are not corrupt... Who is more beautiful than you, more virtuous, more learned?" People want someone who accepts them with all their flaws, saying, "However you are, for us, you are the one." This, the speaker explains, is a conspiracy. We know that unless we accept the other's flaws, they will not accept ours. We do not want to become better because it requires effort, and so we do not like it when our partner improves, as it puts pressure on us. We desire the betterment of our partner only to the extent that it serves our own indulgence. For example, a wife will be happy if her husband gets a high-paying job or brings home a large bribe, as this facilitates indulgence. This is not betterment but an arrangement for indulgence. Real, inner progress will offend many people. When you start making real progress, see how many people get upset with you. The one who stands by you during your real, inner progress is a true lover. Such a person would say, "It's okay if money doesn't come, it's okay if there are worldly hardships. You move forward. Become what you are destined to be. Blossom completely like a flower. We are content in that." If you find someone like that, know that they are a true lover.
