Acharya Prashant explains that issues like marriage are not the real issues. He distinguishes between a worldly person (sansari) and a wise person (gyani). For a worldly person, a daughter coming of age is a huge matter of concern, often creating a fuss among relatives and neighbors. The speaker humorously notes that the girl herself might not even be aware of it. He suggests that the problem is not the girl growing up, but the parents lacking wisdom. He contrasts this societal pressure with the example of a 99-year-old woman breaking swimming records, implying that life is for greater achievements, not just for getting married and wearing a veil. Acharya Prashant clarifies that he has no objection to marriage itself, citing that Arjun was married, and Shri Krishna still imparted the wisdom of the Gita to him. He states that being with someone or not is a personal choice and ultimately does not make a significant difference, as these are not the major issues of life. The more important issues are different. He emphasizes that a human life should be lived with awareness (hosh), which means clearly understanding one's actions and their reasons. Once this clarity is achieved, one should act according to what feels right. He points out that scriptures like the Upanishads and the Gita do not even mention the word 'marriage' because it is considered a trivial matter. Their purpose is to provide awareness. He explains that most people live in a state of unconsciousness (behoshi), and any action taken in that state will be wrong. In this state, people tend to follow the herd, making life decisions based on what others are doing, much like a convoy of cars following each other in a fog, all potentially lost. The fundamental issue is not marriage but this lack of awareness. Acharya Prashant asserts that once a person becomes aware, their relationships are their own personal matter. He mentions that great sages like Shri Krishna and Yajnavalkya were loving and humble; they would explain things but never impose their will or interfere in others' lives. He questions the authority one person claims over another based on age, relationship, or gender, stating that a 50-year-old has no right to dictate the life of a 25-year-old. He concludes that the two decisions that often ruin an ordinary person's life are their choice of career and marriage, both typically made without proper discrimination. The real purpose of life is to know, understand, and learn.
