Acharya Prashant explains that we are so keen to turn love into a relationship, but the moment it becomes a relationship, love is gone. This is because a relationship brings expectations and a definite code of conduct. He gives examples such as a boyfriend being told not to look at anyone else, or a wife being expected to take care of her husband and clean his underwear. He questions why one independent adult must clean the underwear of another, explaining that this happens because of the role of a wife. When one is performing such duties, the feeling of love disappears and is replaced by duty. Love, he states, is not a duty but absolute freedom. You love in your freedom; you are not compelled to love. However, relationships like marriage impose constraints. A wife is expected to produce kids, whereas a lover is not. A girlfriend can walk away at any time, but a wife has a certain respectability and cannot. In these roles, the individuals are lost, and only the images, such as 'the wife,' are living and talking. The individual is gone. He points out that love stories in movies always end with marriage because showing the reality of what happens afterward would defeat society's objectives. Society does not want you to love; it does not want lovers. It wants husbands and wives. Society hates lovers but loves husbands and wives, encouraging people to get married quickly, even if they don't know each other. The prevailing notion is that marriage is good and love is bad. This applies to any named relationship, including live-in relationships, as they all come with expectations. This dynamic extends to all relationships, not just between a man and a woman. For instance, in a father-son relationship, there are no individuals; it is the 'father' talking to the 'son.' This is why sons are restless with fathers and fathers are never happy with their sons. An individual can be happy with another individual, but a 'father' cannot be happy with a 'son.' We rarely see our parents as individuals, which is why there is so much suffering and suffocation in our relationships, making them feel dead. It is a good thing to realize that relationships cause trouble. The speaker advises that as you learn your life's lesson, you will avoid 'relationship' and instead 'relate' like a free bird. Relating is different from being in a relationship. He concludes that it is a wonderful thing to realize this at an early age, as many people grow old and die wondering what they did wrong, simply accepting that life is suffering.
