Acharya Prashant explains that the bitterness often seen at the end of romantic relationships stems from a desire for security and longevity, which is essentially a form of control and possession. He argues that control is rooted in fear and violence, and where there is fear, love cannot exist. True love, according to him, is an upward glance that makes one forget themselves and their desires. It is not something to be consumed or enjoyed for personal satisfaction, but a state that causes the ego to disappear. He dismisses the concept of special days like Valentine's Day, stating that love is beyond time and cannot be commercialized or pre-planned. When relationships are based on consuming the other person to satisfy personal hungers, they inevitably end in suffering. Regarding the concept of 'Cow Hug Day' as a cultural reaction to Valentine's Day, Acharya Prashant characterizes such gestures as infantile and lacking true compassion. He points out the hypocrisy in claiming to love cows while continuing to support the dairy industry, which involves the exploitation and suffering of these animals. He asserts that if one truly loved the cow, they would stop consuming dairy products immediately. He emphasizes that real compassion is not a token gesture for a single day or a specific animal but must extend to all living beings. He concludes that life is an opportunity to know true love and freedom, rather than being trapped in societal expectations, commercial trends, or reactive cultural movements.
