Acharya Prashant addresses the question of why sexual desire is most potent during the most important phase of life, when one is meant to build a future and make significant decisions. He explains that this is by nature's design. Sexual desire is linked to the body, which is a part of nature. Nature, he posits, does not want a human being to seek liberation. He suggests that nature is either indifferent to or an opponent of one's liberation, but it certainly does not want a person to strive for it. Therefore, all of one's time, energy, and attention are consumed by sexual desire precisely during the period of opportunity and danger when a new life is to be built. Nature plays its hand when a person is at their physical and mental peak, which is during their youth. In this phase, not just physical energy but also intellectual capacity, sharpness, and agility are at their highest. If a person uses this time for their own growth, they can attain freedom. To prevent this, nature intervenes by trapping the individual in relationships, responsibilities, and family life, thus binding them. The speaker uses the analogy of chess players who, like other athletes, retire after a certain age because their mental faculties decline. Youth is the peak of both physical and mental prowess. Acharya Prashant warns young people against rushing into relationships. When one is at a lower level of consciousness, they attract a partner of the same level. If one's consciousness rises through a life of growth, they will outgrow that partner, who then becomes an obstacle to further progress. Nature, through the impatience of sexual desire, pushes one to choose the first available partner rather than waiting to choose the best one. This, he says, is a punishment for those who are at a lower stage of life but are eager to form relationships. He clarifies that he is not a moralist against sex but is concerned about people ruining their lives. A human being has the right to a higher life and should not deprive themselves of it by prematurely succumbing to bodily urges. He advises young people to first achieve something, to reach an inner milestone, before getting into relationships. One must choose to identify with consciousness, which can lead to the Self, rather than with nature. He concludes that these urges are not personal or social but biological and physical, and without self-knowledge, one makes wrong choices leading to a ruined life.
