Acharya Prashant explains that finding the right partner is not about the other person's attributes, but about the intensity of one's own inner hunger and inquiry. He compares choosing a partner to choosing a guru; one must know what they are seeking. If the goal is merely superficial, any person will do, but if the goal is liberation from inner stillness and suffering, one must be rigorous. He emphasizes that the purpose of every relationship, whether with a partner, a parent, or even a pet, must be to become better inwardly and to move toward liberation. He asserts that the suffering consciousness remains the same regardless of who one is with, and therefore, the purpose of life must be one-minded: to be free from bondages and ignorance.
