We are not Worthy of Love || Acharya Prashant

Somebody who says, “Oh, I love you as you are.” Just cannot be your lover. Run away. Don’t even wait for the cab. Just run away. Somebody who allows you to comfortably exist with your weaknesses cannot be a worthy lover. Somebody who doesn’t challenge your falsenesses cannot be your lover.

Your lover has to be somebody who keeps refusing you 40 times a day. Don’t we deserve to be corrected again and again? Don’t we deserve to be shown the light again and again? If a fellow is sick, you do not fall in love with him. What do you do? You treat him. He’s a patient.

He deserves medicines, not kisses. Think of a doctor who starts hugging and kissing and making love with a COVID patient. But that’s what we do, don’t we? A relationship needs to be there. The relationship has to be of the doctor or patient or a well-wisher.
