A basic Mantra - from my life || Acharya Prashant, at BITS Goa (2023)

Questioner (Q): Sir, first of all, I am extremely apologetic of being so inquisitive and asking you questions so repeatedly.

Acharya Prashant (AP): Ah…

Q: And sir, a few keywords have been introduced and discussed vividly in today's session: one being ambition, one being happiness, and the other being confidence. So sir, I can relate all these three words very closely and associate them with a Juggernaut of man like you.

For instance: sir you too are an alumni of the dream institutions like IIT and IIM, you have cracked the civil services examination as well, so somewhere in your life as well you must have been ambitious.

So sir, you took this path of becoming a spiritual revolutionary; was it the confidence that you had in your skill set which has transformed you from being a socially successful person into this revolutionary? Or was it the love for spiritualism that you had, which has transformed you and made you this Juggernaut of personality that we interact with today?

AP: See Juggernaut etc I do not know much of. I also did not have confidence in my skill set. It's just that there was a basic sincerity that if I see something as false I cannot continue to be a part of it. That's full stop.
