Acharya Prashant explains that love is not about loving everybody in the same way or equally. He points out the practical impossibility of such a notion, questioning how a person, as a physical body, could possibly know and love all eight billion human beings, let alone all other creatures and celestial bodies. He states that the idea of a lover loving everyone equally is a promoted and circulated image that is not true. Instead, he defines true, spiritual love by quoting, "Ram prem pradhanu," which he translates as the love towards Ram (the Truth). He asserts that this is the only love one can truly have. The mind must possess a deep love and a constant attraction towards peace, realization, rest, and understanding. This, he clarifies, is what love is. The commonly understood love between people is merely a pale shadow of this real thing. When one is in love with the Truth, their conduct has a certain mystical fragrance, and their very presence mysteriously helps the entire universe, though this help is not a deliberate or conscious act. Acharya Prashant argues that since people are different, one cannot have a sameness of behavior towards them. Love does not mean displaying the same attitude or feeling towards everyone. He explains that in love, one might heal, but one might also kill. Depending on the situation, love might lead one north or south; it might involve consoling or condemning, bringing someone closer or distancing oneself. Therefore, love is not a particular kind of behavior or social morality. He cautions against the stories of the "smiling missionary" who is always kind and giving, stating that more often than not, love will require one to be ruthless, and that great ruthlessness is possible only in love.
