Acharya Prashant clarifies the nature of the relationship between Shri Ramakrishna and Maa Sharada, explaining that marriage itself is not inherently bad; rather, the intention behind the union determines its quality. He argues that most marriages are based on mutual exploitation, dependency, and the fulfillment of desires, which leads to suffering. In contrast, the bond between Shri Ramakrishna and Maa Sharada was a spiritual association or 'Satsang.' Their relationship was not that of a typical husband and wife preoccupied with domestic quarrels or possessiveness, but one of profound spiritual depth where Maa Sharada was a disciple and was even worshipped by Shri Ramakrishna as an embodiment of the Divine Mother Kali.
