Description:
Acharya Ji explains that all relationships, including those termed "situationships," are inherently situational. People often label relationships as volitional (by choice), believing they stem from personal decisions. However, everything in life, from our relationships to our identity, is shaped by external situations and randomness. For example, love affairs, career paths, or even national identity are products of chance, not deliberate choice.
Accepting the situational nature of life frees one from unnecessary attachment and expectations. It also fosters lightness and humor, as one realizes that nothing random can be sacred or essential. The wise focus on the "essential"—that which transcends situations—rather than respecting random societal positions or outcomes.
True liberation comes when one stops taking situations seriously, neither overvaluing nor undervaluing oneself or others based on circumstances. Instead, wisdom lies in one's engagement with situations, not in their outcomes.
