Description

Acharya Prashant explains that engaging in sex for fun is far more innocent and spiritual than doing so to fulfill social obligations or responsibilities. He emphasizes that sex is a deeply intimate act that should not be driven by social norms, dictates, or the expectation of future rewards. When external social purposes or high-sounding slogans like the welfare of mankind are introduced into such an intimate relationship, the act and the mind become corrupted. He defines true cheating or infidelity not as seeing another person, but as allowing the relationship to be driven by considerations other than love, such as exploitation or social pressure. Regarding procreation, Acharya Prashant asserts that children should come naturally out of love, similar to how fruits appear on a mature tree or butterflies visit a flower, rather than through calculated social planning. He challenges the notion that having children contributes to the welfare of mankind, pointing out that the planet is already overpopulated and burdened by human consumption. He argues that it is absurd to claim social welfare through reproduction in an age where resources are scarce. He suggests that if one truly desires to care for a child, they should adopt an orphan rather than adding to the population. He concludes by advising the listener to first understand their own welfare and the nature of life before attempting to serve the world, stressing that true love between partners is sufficient and does not require external validation or social conformity.
