Acharya Prashant explains that what most people call love is actually a combination of physical attraction, biological urges, and a sense of ownership. He clarifies that the attraction felt during youth is primarily driven by hormonal activity and sexual glands rather than true love. He points out that if this were genuine love, it would manifest regardless of age or biological maturity. Similarly, he describes maternal attachment as 'Mamta', which stems from the sense of 'mine' or possession. He argues that if a mother discovers her child was swapped at birth, her attachment often shifts back to her biological child, proving the attachment was to the idea of ownership rather than the individual being.
