Acharya Prashant explains that it takes a long time to understand that the one who speaks sweetly to you and praises you is your biggest enemy. He states that the entire problem lies in this sweetness. In any honest relationship, there is no place for sweetness. Only someone who wants to get their own way with you will be sweet. He gives the example of a saree or jewelry seller who will always be sweet, whereas a medicine seller might scold you. A bangle seller will give you whatever you ask for, saying, "Yes, sister." He quotes the poet Dhumil: "The intimacy after the rape has filled me with shock," explaining that this is like someone first harming you and then showing affection. True love, he says, involves breaking the other person because you love them, and in the process of breaking them, you will also break. This kind of love is very rare. The speaker then discusses a verse from the Gita, which says that even if you are the greatest of all sinners, you can cross the ocean of sin by boarding the boat of knowledge. He explains that there are different reactions to this. A dishonest person will immediately agree, saying, "Yes, I am the biggest sinner." This is a form of hypocrisy. A slightly more honest person will protest, saying, "How can I be a sinner?" But the one who is truly eligible for the Gita will ask, "What is sin?" This person is free from the first sin of not even knowing what is being said. Acharya Prashant clarifies that false knowledge is the only sin. The fundamental falsehood is the ego-tendency (aham-vritti), the belief that "I am." All other tendencies like anger, greed, and delusion are branches of this root. The ego-tendency is the belief that "I am, and I am separate from the world." He uses the analogy of a transparent glass that lets light pass through it without being affected, versus a black object that absorbs light and gets heated. Those who do not hold on to ideas are like the transparent glass; they are not changed by what comes to them. In contrast, those who cling to beliefs are affected. The path of knowledge is a process of conflict and dismantling; it is not sweet. The ego loves sweet words because they reinforce its existing beliefs. Therefore, an honest relationship cannot be sweet. True love is not about accepting you as you are, but about breaking you because one loves you. This process of breaking the other and oneself is true love, and very few people have this kind of love.
