Acharya Prashant explains that what is commonly perceived as love is often merely a natural, hormonal attraction rooted in biological attachment and lust. He asserts that anything coming naturally to a person should be viewed as problematic because nature, or Prakriti, keeps the individual in bondage. Real love is not a cheap chemical reaction that occurs automatically at puberty; rather, it is something that must be learned and earned through spiritual pursuit. He points out that most human relationships, including marriage and the bond between mother and child, are often based on possessiveness, ownership, and sexual consumption rather than genuine love. He challenges the justification of behavior based on it being 'natural,' noting that humans have a mandate to rise above animalistic instincts rather than succumb to them.
