Acharya Prashant explains that responsibility in a relationship does not depend on social labels or the institution of marriage. Whether a relationship is socially recognized or not, an irresponsible person will find ways to avoid their duties, while a responsible person will fulfill them regardless of formal ties. He clarifies that marriage is merely an external stamp and does not change a person's inner nature; if someone lacks self-knowledge and love, marriage will not suddenly make them responsible. He contrasts the worldly person with a Saint, noting that a Saint feels a sense of duty and love toward everyone, even without formal or biological relationships, because their responsibility stems from spiritual truth. In contrast, worldly people often live together out of selfishness, lacking true love and understanding even for their own children. Acharya Prashant dismisses the common superstition that marriage can discipline an unruly person, asserting that true responsibility is synonymous with righteousness and is rooted in one's connection to the truth. Therefore, one should seek a partner who possesses inner light and love rather than focusing on the social formality of marriage.
