Acharya Prashant begins by acknowledging the Valentine's Day celebration set up by the questioners, complete with gifts, balloons, and chocolates. He asks why he has been invited to such an event. The questioners explain that it is Valentine's Day, a festival for lovers, and they wish to seek his opinion on it. Acharya Prashant states that he likes love, but questions where love is amidst all the material objects like jewelry, balloons, and teddy bears. The questioners suggest that love is the feeling behind the gifts. Acharya Prashant then delves into the story of Saint Valentine, a saint from the 3rd century. He recounts that the king of that time was a warmonger who banned marriages to ensure young men would join his army. Saint Valentine, a proponent of love, secretly conducted marriages for couples. For this, he was arrested and imprisoned. In jail, he fell in love with the jailer's blind daughter. Through his love, he healed her eyes, which symbolically means he gave her the vision to understand the world and herself. Before his execution, he wrote her a letter signed "Your Valentine," which is how the tradition began. He was then beheaded. Acharya Prashant explains that the true meaning of love, as exemplified by Saint Valentine, is to give sight or understanding to your partner, even at the cost of your own life. This is the real Valentine's Day. He contrasts this with modern romance, which he defines as the belief that the highest truth can be attained through sensory experiences and pleasure. This kind of love is about consuming the other person. He criticizes the commercialization of Valentine's Day, where an entire week is dedicated to exchanging gifts like roses, chocolates, and teddy bears, which is nothing but consumerism. He also points out the negative consequences, such as the spike in abortions in March following these celebrations. He further explains that there are two kinds of beauty: one that acts as a ladder, leading you to a higher beauty, and another that is like a prison, trapping you. A relationship is a choice. It can be a relationship where you break each other's heads, or one where you mind your own business. The most beautiful relationship is one of love, where you make the highest possible choice. Love is about giving the other person eyes to see, and this is the true Valentine's Day.
