Acharya Prashant responds to a woman in a troubled marriage, explaining that she is seeking a solution within the very framework that causes her suffering. This framework involves a cycle of attraction, conflict, repulsion, reconciliation, breaking up, and patching up, which keeps the mind perpetually occupied with the other person. He notes that whether her mind is filled with romantic or anxious thoughts, her partner remains at the center of her universe. This, he explains, is the common but flawed model for most relationships, including marriage and even divorce. The speaker illustrates how this framework consumes one's life by pointing out the irony of going to court first to solemnize a marriage and later to dissolve it, or calling the same parents first to beg for their child's hand and then to threaten them. He highlights the extreme emotional swings where the partner is seen as a 'Prince Charming' at one moment and a 'monster' the next. He questions why one person becomes the sole focus of life, leading to fighting when they are present and worry when they are absent. He suggests that this preoccupation with a partner is a form of addiction, especially for those who are 'existentially jobless' or lack a higher purpose in life. Acharya Prashant advises the questioner to look beyond her relationship and rediscover other aspects of her life, such as her education, hobbies, dreams, and broader interests that have been neglected. He emphasizes that life is too valuable to be wasted on trivial matters. The true purpose of a relationship, he states, is to elevate one's consciousness. A right relationship is not found by searching for the right person but happens accidentally when one is dedicated to a higher purpose, and the partner becomes a co-traveler on that journey. Greatness, he clarifies, is contrary to smallness, not to physical intimacy. The problem is the smallness that typically accompanies such relationships, not the relationship itself.
