Pingla Gita

Love is not a mental or physical need. Love is not for the faint-hearted. Love is not for those who fear the loss of relationships, reputation, possessions or life. Love is not for those who are afraid of family, society, or uncertainty. Love is not for those who seek sanction from tradition or culture.

You see, what does it mean to say that “righteousness is on decline”? Mind is moving away from Krishna. Mind is moving away from Krishna. Krishna is the centre of the mind. Right? Krishna is the centre of mind. As soon as the mind moves away from the Krishna, the centre applies a spring like force on the mind.

You must know what is love. How it shapes your life.

Love would have helped you fly. And now you have captivated love within four walls. As wise men and women, if you are married, wonderful. As wise men and women, if you are not married, wonderful. The point is not really marriage. The point is wisdom. https://dev-main8.vedant.life/en/articles/marriage-and-love-1_0ff5cad

Does the person you are with encourage you to read? You have to ask, “What does he bring for me, roses or books?”

Be very cautious of those who bring roses for you, especially red roses. Books are what we all need, and books are dangerous. Books are dangerous because…

In our country, most people marry because that is sometimes the only way of getting some good sex—good and assured sex. Otherwise, the fellow would either have to spend a lot of money or a lot of time, or both, and then still return empty-handed. Isn’t that so?

Now, if…

लड़की को पढ़ाई के लिए दो-सौ किलोमीटर दूर भेजना हो तो यही माँ-बाप और भाई कन्नी काट जाते हैं, और ब्याह कर वो दो-हज़ार किलोमीटर दूर जा रही हो इन्हें कोई फ़र्क नहीं पड़ेगा। और पढ़ाई के लिए जाएगी तो किसी यूनिवर्सिटी के हॉस्टल में रहेगी, सुरक्षा में रहेगी, हॉस्टल…

Unless you have reached the heart, the sexual activity has gone waste. Sex that is just a few inches deep serves no purpose. Sex has to be infinitely deep. You have to touch not only the other’s body but really the heart. That is what you are looking for.

श्रद्धावान् लभते ज्ञानं तत्पर: संयतेन्द्रिय: | ज्ञानं लब्ध्वा परां शान्तिमचिरेणाधिगच्छति || ४, ३९ || जितेन्द्रिय, साधनापरायण और श्रद्धावान मनुष्य ज्ञान को प्राप्त होता है तथा ज्ञान को प्राप्त होकर वह बिना विलम्ब के तत्काल ही भगवत्प्राप्तिरूप शान्ति को प्राप्त हो जाता है। —श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता, अध्याय ४, श्लोक ३९प्रश्नकर्ता: आचार्य जी,…

What does it mean to have an inauthentic relationship?

To be authentic is to be complete and secure in yourself. Anything authentic is not in need of further improvement or refinement; it is already authentic. That is the way the authentic mind functions: it does not relate with the other…

You were once a girl; you would have read mathematics, history, science, geography, languages. Didn’t you find inspiring figures there? Didn’t those books arouse fantastic ideas in you?

I am sure that when you were younger, you thought of excellence, didn’t you? You would have had dreams. In your dreams,…

Let nobody say that he or she is making the right choices in life because she does not know. We all know. We prefer to suppress the inner knowledge. It’s an inner conspiracy against ourselves, just because we want to continue enjoying certain privileges in life—certain physical privileges, material privileges,…

You must know what the place of security and money and sex is in your life. If you don’t know their right places, then for the purpose of sex you will give somebody a high position in your life, and then you will suffer. Persons are essentially harmless; harmful is…

Only in aloneness can you have relationships that are not exploitative. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter what name, what color you give to your relationship; your relationship will be definitely one of exploitation.

Have you ever looked at your relationships closely? Do you ever want the other? No. You just want…

Real relaxation is about relaxing even in the middle of activity. You are relaxed even as you exert yourself. You are relaxed even as you are running. You are relaxed even as you are drained out. You are not waiting for a special activity like going to bed or sitting…

If a woman is good and fine, then her lover or husband would spoil her. Women must be honored for her intelligence, her qualities, for her inner strength. But when you start giving her importance for reasons like, her body is attractive and she is very sexually appealing, then you…

“And then as soon as we finished having sex, I noticed I just wanted nothing to do with her. And I noticed that in the morning, I was lonely and a little aloof as well.”

The kind of person you choose to have sexual union with is a reflection on…

Emotions, they can do whatever they want to do. It doesn’t matter how I am feeling. What matters is what I must do.

Ask yourself: Had you not been feeling this way or that way, what would have you done? And you will get a very good answer.

When you…

“I have to eat to satisfy my body, so why can’t I use contraception and have sex with a woman and not procreate?”

This is such a bad analogy. They say sex is like food, both are physical needs. No sir, please! Sex is not like food. No, no, no.…

We are not talking of the perfect one; we are talking of the higher one, relatively higher. The higher person does exist. First of all, you must become that higher person, and then it is a case of holding hands to rise together, because that’s the shared love. What’s the…

Because this world knows no contentment, no God, so it tries to gain fulfilment through sex, and it asks you to be a factory of sexual performance. You can neither be that, nor do you need to be that. Do you think about your nose so much? This too is…

Whenever you get cheated in love, don’t blame anybody else. Ask yourself, did you not have anything better to do with your life that you went and clinged to a person? I ask you, is he worth being devoted to? Then why do you pick some man, some woman, and…

You already have enough troubles, right? We don’t want to invite another trouble into your house, into your bedroom, do you? But yes, if someone can bring joy and Truth to you, invite them right into your heart, and then marriage is inconsequential. With the right person, you marry—wonderful! You…

When a great scientist, or a devoted politician, or a committed author decides to remain unmarried, it is wonderful. But only then. First of all, figure out something great to be immersed and absorbed in. If you can figure that out, then you get the licence to remain unmarried. Only…

If somebody has started encroaching upon your mental space, if somebody has really started affecting the way you go about your day-to-day activities—the other person has started showing up his presence even where he should not be—then you should know that the relationship is not going in a healthy way.…

It is a very common and a very harmful misconception to take dhyāna as something. Dhyāna is nothing. Dhyāna is not an object. Dhyāna is not a thing. Dhyāna is not a routine, not a practice, not an exercise. Dhyāna, rather, is on all these things. Dhyāna is what…

As long as the relationship is of need, the relationship will remain one of violence. You can never be more violent upon anybody than upon someone you love—so-called love. Because the greater is your love for someone, the greater is your investment in that person. And you invest in someone…

“Why do you want to follow their science? We will follow our science!” This kind of thing too you are hearing these days, no? This science and that science, as if there are multiple sciences all opposed to each other. Spiritual sciences! What kind of foolishness is this? Pandit-ji is…

Why did the breakup happen? And if you are you and he is what he is, then won’t the breakup happen again?

Do you know who you are? You are the one who will accept this guy back if he comes to your life.

Do you know who you are?…

I have nothing against marriage. I have a lot to do with the mind of man. The mind that rushes towards security, the mind that wants to possess and hold captive another living being, I want to talk of that mind.

Marriage will decide the kind of work that you…

Why do you want commitment? Because not only do you want to have sex, you want an uninterrupted and guaranteed supply of sex; that is what you call as commitment.

“Not only should you be with me for one night; assure me that I will find you on the bed…

तो शादी से पहले तो तुम ख़ुद ही सच्चाई को पर्दे में रखते हो। तुम ख़ुद ही एक दूसरे के सामने सभ्यता का, शालीनता का, भलाई का मुखौटा पहन कर बैठते हो। “नहीं, नहीं तुम बैठो! पॉपकॉर्न मैं ले आता हूँ।“

“नहीं, नहीं तुम क्यों खर्च करोगी, मैं कर रहा…

यह एक बड़ा भ्रम कि जल्दी से शादी कर लो और शादी करने से दूसरा व्यक्ति ज़िम्मेदार हो जाएगा। जो माँ-बाप कहते हैं, “ये बड़ा उद्दण्ड है, लड्डू। गाँव भर में लुढ़कते फिरता है लड्डू। तो लड्डू को ज़िम्मेदार बनाने के लिए लड्डू की शादी कर देते हैं।” घर में…

सुबह उठते ही, "जानू उठ गई? जानू टट्टी कर ली, ब्रश कर लिया? नाश्ते में क्या खा रही हो? क्यों खा रही हो? खा ही क्यों रही हो, पी क्यों नहीं रही? जानू पैरों से चल रही हो? सर के बल क्यों नहीं चल रही?"

अभी हॉट है मामला भई!…

लड़के अगर बेरोज़गार हों और शादी के लिए लालायित हो जाएँ तो तुम कहोगे, “छी! कमाता ना धमामा, शादी करने चला है!”

और लड़कियों से यह बात तुम बोलते नहीं। क्योंकि लड़कियाँ तो गाय हैं, उन्हें कमाना-धमाना थोड़े ही है। उन्हें तो घर में बैठकर बछड़े जनने हैं।

जब बहन…

बहुत सारा मेडिटेशन वगैरह वही है जो आपको झटका नहीं खाने देगा। ज़िन्दगी बर्बाद चल रही है, सबकुछ आपका ग़लत है, लेकिन सुधरने की कोई ज़रूरत नहीं। आधे-एक घण्टे बैठ करके गाइडेड मेडिटेशन कर लो, वहाँ तुमको गुरुजी कान में बता देंगे कि तुम एक सरोवर के किनारे बैठे हो,…

The problem is not the person you have the relationship with. If we look at it closely, the problem lies not in the other thing or the person, but in the relationship that we have with the thing or the person. That thing could be money, that thing could be…

हिंदुस्तान में अभी भी दो जगह हैं जहाँ पर लडकियाँ बहुत कम पायी जाती हैं – लड़कियाँ, स्त्रियाँ सब – एक, श्मशान घाट, दूसरा, सत्संग। दोनों ही जगहों पर सच दिख जाता है न, और दोनों ही जगहों पर देह की नश्वरता दिख जाती है न। समाज नहीं चाहता है…

लड़की होगी वो चाहे गुड़गाँव में काम कर रही हो, चाहे बंबई में, चाहे बेंगलुरु में, उसकी दो ज़िंदगियाँ होती हैं। एक जो दफ्तर में होती है, दफ्तर में हो सकता है मैनेजर हो, पंद्रह लोग उसको रिपोर्ट करते हों, पंद्रह लोग उसके अधीनस्थ हों। और वहाँ पर वो एक…

“Why am I with someone?” That question has to be asked. If that question has been honestly asked and reasonably answered, then you cannot go wrong, whether you marry or not, whether you remain with someone or not.

And mind you, these are not really permanent decisions to be made.…

A woman is not allowed to work after marriage—nobody cares. It doesn’t make headlines at all.

A woman has unsafe work environment—doesn’t matter. It doesn’t make headlines.

A woman dies during childbirth—who bothers?

Public spaces are not women-friendly—who bothers?

Women themselves are getting conditioned to look at themselves as mere…

किसी भी आम लड़के से पूछ लो वो किसलिए विवाह करता है; सम्मानजनक काम करने के लिए तो वो भी विवाह करता नहीं, काम वह सारे ऐसे ही करता है जो विवाह के बिना करदे तो तुम कहोगे 'ज़लील, लुच्चे, लफ़ंगे! गायब हो जा यहाँ से!'

तो तुम जो अपना…

सब प्रेमियों की निशानी है – दो-दो, चार-चार घण्टे लगे हुए हैं फ़ोन पर। और फ़ोन पर नहीं तो आमने-सामने बैठकर एक-दूसरे का भेजा चबा रहे हैं। और मजाल है कि उधर से कचरा फेंका जा रहा है और तुम इधर से फ़ोन काट दो। बेवफ़ा कहलाओगे। कितना मज़ा आता…

प्रश्नकर्ता: सर, लोग दहेज क्यों लेते हैं?

आचार्य प्रशांत: कोई किसी का साथ पैसे लेकर के करेगा तो मैं कैसे बोलूँ इस पर? मैं मुश्किल पाता हूँ इस बात को कल्पित करना, उस आदमी की शक्ल को चित्रित करना जो कह रहा है कि, “मैं किसी के साथ हो सकता…

किसी ने आपसे पूछा, “अरे! तुमने मुझे पाँच दिन से फ़ोन नहीं किया, तुम्हें मेरी याद नहीं आयी?” आप कहते हैं, “अगर मैं इसको सच बता दूँ तो इस बेचारे के दिल को चोट लगेगी, ये दुख जाएगा।“ तो आप कहते हैं, “नहीं याद तो बहुत आयी, वो नेटवर्क नहीं…

पूछो किसी से, “विवाह क्यों कर रहे हो?” तो सीधे थोड़े ही बता देगा कि, “इसलिए कर रहे हैं...” क्योंकि नर खरगोश मादा खरगोश के पास क्यों जाता है? प्रकृति चाहती है कि नन्हे-मुन्ने खरगोश आएँ, बस इतनी सी बात, इसलिए जाता है।

यही विवाह के वक़्त स्त्री और पुरुष…
