In response to a question about what women want in a man, Acharya Prashant begins by stating that it is a generalization to speak for all women, as their desires are shaped by their different patterns of conditioning. He suggests that a better question is, "What should the woman want?" He observes that what women often want is hardly a secret: a good-looking, rich, knowledgeable, or sporty man. The common desires are safety, security, commitment, and loyalty, which he asserts ultimately translate to a desire for money. Acharya Prashant explains that to know what one should want, one must first realize what they truly lack, which requires self-awareness. One must ask, "Who am I?" and "How good am I to myself?" Without knowing one's origin, center, inadequacies, and fears, one cannot truly know what to want. He describes the ancient cycle where men pursue sex and women pursue safety as being of little good. To break this cycle, he advises that the woman must be less of a woman and the man less of a man, meaning they must realize themselves as consciousness beyond the body. He uses the analogy of having a car but not being a hostage to it; one must have the agency and discretion to course-correct and decide the destination, rather than following the dictates of the body. Addressing the issue of desperation, he advises channeling one's energy by first understanding what one is truly hungry for. He assures that the central and primary desire is not sex, even though it may appear overpowering and tempting. When one discovers what they truly must have, sex will be assigned its proper, smaller place. He identifies the current hypersexualized society as a symptom of inner rot stemming from a lack of inner fulfillment. This lack of inner knowledge leads to a mega-emphasis on external things like sex. He concludes that a great sexual urge is an indicator of great inner energy waiting for a proper outlet. If one is occupied with something that grips the heart, sex will not be a tremendously important thing.
