Questioner: Does the continuous remembrance of liberation lead one to the right way?
Acharya Prashant: One has to be reminded of it. It’s a very strange thing. One need not be reminded of the false, the false is anyway always ready to tempt you, assault you. One does not need to be reminded of the false, but one needs to be reminded of the truth. Sometimes people ask me, “We have seen that advertisements are needed in corporate industries, but why does your foundation advertise its work? Every time there is some banner or poster out that course is happening or that camp is happening.” This is the answer.
First of all, the human constitution is at false; needs no advertisement. It is anyway attracted to the false. Secondly, even though the false needs no advertisement, it still gets heavily advertised. First of all, we are anyway vulnerable towards the false; we anyway get attracted very quickly towards the false.
Secondly, the false is also getting advertised upon our senses continuously. Now in this situation, please tell me, should we advertise the truth or not? Should we or should we not? In fact, it is not the false that needs promotion or advertisement, it is the truth that needs to be supported greatly by way of promotion, advertisement, and many other things. Man needs to be reminded continuously and there can be many ways to keep oneself reminded. Great company is one such way.
Questioner: Why does it happen that thoughts of liberation always come whenever you are free and not when you are busy?
