Acharya Prashant responds to a question about confusion in relationships and the decision of marriage. The questioner explains that he has been in a long-term relationship with both helpful and conflicting aspects. Now, feeling pressure due to his age, he is dedicated to working on his own suffering. He feels that if two people are honestly working on themselves, their paths might diverge, making a lifelong commitment like marriage difficult. He worries about ruining someone else's life and whether the synchronization required in marriage will become a bondage. Acharya Prashant uses an analogy to address this. He compares the questioner to a first-year MBBS student who is worried about how to treat patients. He points out that the student is not yet a doctor and should not be taking on patients. His focus should be on his studies to become a doctor. Similarly, one is not yet qualified for love or marriage if they haven't understood themselves or life. Taking on a partner, whom he refers to as a 'patient', without being qualified is irresponsible and will ruin the other person's life. He criticizes the common notion that 'love is all you need' or that one should just love someone as they are, calling it a dangerous idea. He further explains that love is like surgery – it's delicate and requires great skill. It's necessary, but if done without qualification, it can be fatal. Love is a spiritual thing, and those who have no connection to spirituality are not worthy of it; they don't have the right to love. He says that love requires the biggest degree from the highest university, earned through hard work. Natural attraction is not love. Love is a completely spiritual thing. Those who have no connection with spirituality are not worthy of love. They do not have the right to love. He says that many people think that love does not require any degree, but love requires the biggest degree from the highest university, and that degree has to be earned with great effort. After that, you become entitled to love. Addressing the questioner's point about two people walking towards the light, Acharya Prashant says the best relationship is one where both individuals are sick and decide to find a doctor together, not one where they try to treat each other. He criticizes the common scenario where two people, who were once searching for something, find each other and then stop their search. He mentions how people who were once spiritual (reading Jiddu Krishnamurti) stop after getting married because their spouse becomes their 'doctor'. He concludes by advising to avoid interfering in another's life with great caution. One should first become capable of leading another, of being a guide, a doctor, a guru. Until then, one should humbly admit their own lack of knowledge and seek help together with a partner.
