Acharya Prashant explains that our love is dependent on conditions. Unconditional love is to find that which can be loved irrespective of conditions, and then to move towards it irrespective of conditions. He elaborates that there is nothing we say we love without the contribution of conditions. If conditions were not what they were, or if they change, our love will also change its complexion. For example, if you love a woman and a fundamental condition changes, such as her ceasing to be a woman, your love would immediately stop. This demonstrates that our love is always a product of conditions and proceeds only as long as conditions remain favorable. It hurts to hear this because we often profess eternal love to our loved ones, but these statements are fraudulent. Nobody is with another without a purpose, interest, or objective. The moment that purpose is defeated, the relationship is dropped. Even death is a condition that ends relationships. Unconditional love, therefore, is to find something in life that has not come to you just by situations, conditioning, or impressions. It is to be attracted to something that does not come to you due to circumstances or the random movement of time. All our relationships, like friendships, are based on chance. Had you not met that person, the relationship would not exist. That which chance has given you will stay with you only as long as chance permits. The result of such conditional love is meanness, jealousy, possessiveness, insecurity, and discomfort. You are always afraid because you know your relationship is not on a rock-solid foundation and is bound to decay and die. This is why our relationships require constant investment, repair, and maintenance. Acharya Prashant clarifies that it is not in the chemistry of a human being to love another human being directly and unconditionally. However, unconditional love is possible indirectly between two people. This happens when both individuals are devoted to the 'One'—that which is timeless, movementless, and differenceless. When two people are unconditionally devoted to the same 'One', they find that their relationship with each other also becomes unconditional, albeit indirectly. Their love for each other is based on one final condition: 'I will love you as long as you love that One.' In loving the 'One' unconditionally, they also come to love each other unconditionally.
