Acharya Prashant: How does an inquiry begin? How does man decide that the state in which he exists is not really sufficient for me? What is the need for spirituality at all? Why must we sit here and talk, or meditate, or break our heads together? why?
Listener 1: Stability to our existence?
AP: So, if we need stability, then what is the state in which we are in an unstable state.
Listener: When we are perturbed, disturbed and agitated, then we are in the state of instability. When something is endearing and because we have recognized certain good things and that state continues to exist in us that is stability and we are in for spirituality because we want greater stability in our lives.
AP: LetтАЩs simply say we experience a lack of stability. Whatever we experience simply doesnтАЩt prove sufficient. It does not provide contentment. Hence, is the need to dive into the deeper realms of the mind.
You say, тАЬI exist somewhere. But, I see that something else in there that I donтАЩt really know of and I have an inkling that thatтАЩs where peace lies for me. I donтАЩt know what that is. I probably donтАЩt havenтАЩt ever been there, yet there is a pre-intuitive memory, yet there is a knowledge-less realization, an uninformed realization, that something special lies there.тАЭ
