Acharya Prashant explains that what the world commonly identifies as love is merely an idea emerging from the ego to fulfill superficial desires. He rejects this conventional idea of love, describing it as a mutually exploitative relationship where individuals look at one another as objects to appease themselves. He argues that if love is just a desire to consume or use another, it is small and rotten. True love, he asserts, is only possible when one has wisdom and insight into oneself. Without self-knowledge, individuals remain fundamentally incapable of loving anyone or anything.
