Acharya Prashant responds to a question about the challenges faced by single people in India, such as difficulties in renting a house. He states that this is a small price to pay. He compares the travails of a normal married person to the challenges of a bachelor, asserting that the latter are "just about nothing." He explains that one cannot have everything; if you want to enjoy the freedom and benediction that comes with not being trapped in marriage, there will be a price to pay, and one should gladly pay it. He suggests that the challenges a bachelor faces are insignificant compared to the problems of a married person. Acharya Prashant elaborates that the market loves families and wants to punish bachelors because they are not good for business. For instance, a single person might occupy a table for four in a restaurant, which is a loss of business. The market, therefore, promotes family-oriented products and services. He distinguishes between a true bachelor and a "wannabe husband." A true bachelor is one who chooses to be single by dint of their understanding and realization, not due to compulsion or lack of opportunity. He points out that many men in India are bachelors by compulsion, for example, due to the skewed sex ratio from female foeticide, and these are not true bachelors but rather "wannabe husbands." A true bachelor, he explains, is one who realizes the nature of their true self and sees the institution of marriage, which is founded on sexuality and emotional reasons, as nonsensical. He clarifies that he is not against relationships but against being trapped in the institution of marriage without consciousness. He advises that instead of trying to change society's perspective, one should first focus on their own life, making it beautiful, joyful, and successful. When others see the beauty in your being, they will be inspired to learn your secret, which is consciousness and avoiding conditioned behavior. He concludes by stating that one cannot change society; first, you must save your own life and build your own house, and that will lead to a great society.
