Do not look at a man through eyes of morality || Acharya Prashant, with youth (2014)

Acharya Prashant: Vice is the spice of life.

I am saying: vice is spice. Mostly, what you call as virtue, is just empty morality.

Listener 1: Yes, Sir.

AP: There is no basis to it. So, you see, I don’t want to sound as if I am advocating drinking or smoking or sexual permissiveness.

L1: Yes, Sir. I am also against these things…

AP: No, let me complete. I am not advocating them, but I am not against them either. It’s ok. Go ahead. Your life, you understand. You understand.

There are far more important things to look for in a man or in a woman than to ask whether he drinks or not. There are far, far more important things. If you are looking at a girl, then there are 40 more important things about her than her chastity.
