Marriage But No Love || Acharya Prashant

Full Video: Get divorced soon || Acharya Prashant, in conversation (2022)

Transcript

00:00There is nothing called a soulmate. The institution of marriage is a useful one constructed to give

00:05you a bodymate. And I am saying it's useful because if the institution of marriage is not there,

00:09then there is indeed a possibility that the animal within us would run amok. Already people are so

00:14fond of peeping into their neighbor's house and if they are not constrained by religion and law

00:21and morality, then you do not know what the restless animal within us can do. With that

00:27understanding, now we will have very tempered and realistic expectations from marriage. Now we will

00:33know that if we are living with a woman, then there can hardly be any spiritual dimension to

00:40this association. She is here because I am lustful and she has agreed to come to me because she too

00:44is lustful and insecure and lonely. And that's the only reason. Now the moment I say these people

00:49will bring in the word love, they'll say but what about love? Don't husband and wife love each other?

00:53No sir, they do not. Love is the exclusive domain of a spiritual mind.
