Acharya Prashant begins by addressing the difficulty of discussing love, stating that the primary barrier is not ignorance but the pre-existing knowledge and convictions people hold. He explains that almost everyone believes they are an expert on love and could write an entire book on the subject. This makes it challenging to introduce a new perspective, as people tend to judge any new information against their own experiences, accepting what aligns and rejecting what does not. This tendency turns the mind into a "closed box" or a "silo," preventing a deeper inquiry into what we have called love. He then probes the audience to define love based on their real-life experiences rather than theoretical ideals. He acknowledges common associations like beauty, life, connection, and presence, but challenges their validity. For instance, if love is life, one continues to live even after a breakup. This highlights the discrepancy between the ideal love we read about and the actual love we experience, which is often riddled with jealousy, possessiveness, suffering, desire, and domination. What we call love is frequently an experience of attraction, a pull towards something or someone, driven by a hope for fulfillment. The mind, feeling an inner void, seeks to plug this hole. Acharya Prashant explains that the mind, unable to know what it truly misses, relies on borrowed pictures of love from the world—media, family, and stories. It then searches not for love itself, but for someone who matches these preconceived images. This becomes a tragedy, as we end up rejecting real love because it doesn't conform to our pictures, and instead, we pursue impostors who fit our conditioned idea of love. We don't want love; we want the images of love. He concludes by advising to be with someone who doesn't excite you but brings you closer to yourself, someone who sets you free. Real love is not a particular action or image but the natural, restful state of the mind.
