Acharya Prashant explains that social morality has become conflated with religiosity, leading to an unhealthy obsession with sexuality. In popular culture and common morality, sexuality is often used as the touchstone of a person's character rather than their consciousness or knowledge. This orientation makes sex appear as a massive obstacle or a monster to be fought, which only keeps it constantly present in the mind. He notes that even in the Bhagavad Gita, Arjun displays a body-centric orientation by worrying about the chastity of women during the war, reflecting a mind that is preoccupied with sexual identity rather than spiritual realization.
