For real action, let the Real act on your behalf || Acharya Prashant, with youth (2015)
Questioner: Let’s say, you have a couple of friends, they would come, they would stay, you would sit together and you have fun. And then sometime they leave. So, for that moment you think you are right but then the things turn upside down and you start thinking that they were bad people. So, if for a moment it was right, then how can it turn so bad?
Acharya Prashant: That is the nature of our friendships and that is the nature of all our relationships.
Q: That was just an example. You have said that when we come to know that things are right, we put a full stop and we are happy with it.
AP: No! No. The full stop proves that the thing is right.
Q: But then after sometime when things turn out to be wrong, then where does that full stop come?
AP: “*Here is my soul mate and this and that*”.
The fact of the matter is they are still looking out. The fact of the matter is it is only a question of how big and lucrative the opportunity is. The fact of the matter is the prince charming of dreams is always illusive. And whosoever you are with, the eyes are still looking out for that illusive prince charming. And if he comes, then this current boyfriend will be out. In no time will he be out. So, the search is perpetual. The search never seizes. We know that. We may claim that, “Now that I am married, things have come to a full stop and now I am no more searching”. But we all know we are always searching, like a corporate employee. You may be in a very good job but you are always looking for the next hike. Are you not? And it all depends just on whether you get a good enough offer, a good enough hike. A good enough hike and you will quit the job that you swear your allegiance to.
