Full Video: He chose a wife, not a Guru || Acharya Prashant, with Ahimsa Fellows (2023)

Transcript

00:00When a man chooses a wife, is he really wedding a guru?

00:05Now the wife turns vegan and starts sermonizing.

00:08Why will the man take it?

00:10You are trying to be a guru. You are trying to be a preacher.

00:13I don't want a preacher.

00:14I want a cute wife. That's all.

00:16Just because you are a vegan,

00:18that does not matter to people who will not listen.

00:21Focus on the neighbors.

00:23Instead of your family WhatsApp group,

00:25focus on anonymous people on social media.

00:28You will get greater success there.

00:29In general, the family system and goodness do not go together.

00:33It's another matter that by dint of your perseverance

00:38and your effort,

00:40you are able to convince and convert some of your family members.

00:44But to think that just because

00:46a certain group of people belong to your family,

00:48therefore, they will be more amenable

00:50to your virtuous advice

00:53is just wishful thinking, daydreaming.

00:55It won't happen and if you try too much of that,

00:57all you will get is some heartbreak.
