Acharya Prashant responds to a question about how to recognize if a relationship can fulfill one's sense of incompleteness. He begins by explaining that one must first understand the nature of their incompleteness. He differentiates between the incompleteness of an inert object (Jad) and that of a conscious being (Chetan). An inert object, like a pen without a refill or a broken pair of glasses, can be completed by another inert object. However, a conscious being's incompleteness is of a different quality and cannot be fulfilled by an inert object. He presents two principles. First, giving an inert thing to a conscious being will not remove their emptiness. Second, to remove your own emptiness, you need a consciousness that is higher than your own. He explains that a conscious being's emptiness is a longing for more consciousness. Therefore, if someone enters your life as just a body, which is inert, they cannot fulfill you. He quotes Kabir Saheb, saying, "When a bound person meets another bound person, how can they be liberated?" This illustrates that when two people see each other as bodies, it is a relationship of one inert thing with another, which leads to ruin. Acharya Prashant advises the questioner to ask what the other person is bringing into her life. Is it something that elevates her consciousness, like knowledge, understanding, or wisdom, or is it just another inert object like a body, money, or physical possessions? He cautions against entering relationships with wrong expectations. One should not allow someone to enter their life as an inert object, nor should they become an inert object for someone else. He points out that being overly body-conscious, spending excessive time on physical appearance, is a sign of treating oneself as an inert object. Ultimately, a conscious being needs more consciousness, not more inert matter, to feel complete. The search for a special person is, in fact, a search for one's own highest self.
