Acharya Prashant explains that love is a unique form of attraction directed toward the highest truth and genuine beauty. Unlike ordinary material attractions, which are driven by selfishness, profit, or physical tendencies, love has no worldly cause or personal gain. He cites Gautam Buddha as an example of someone who chose the path of truth despite apparent material loss. He clarifies that Gautam Buddha did not abandon his responsibilities but rather left behind the conditioned mind that society had programmed to feel responsible. According to him, the only real responsibility is to remain truthful, simple, and direct. He further discusses parental love, noting that parents are human and their actions can be driven by attraction or selfishness. He emphasizes that one should not judge an action by its outward appearance but by its center or source. For example, a mother feeding her child might be acting out of selfishness if she ignores other hungry children. He explains that a slap can be an act of love if it comes from a place of truth, while a hug can be an act of violence if it encourages wrong behavior. He concludes that true selflessness is characterized by an absence of calculated reasons or personal motives.
