Questioner: Pranam Acharya Ji. How do I live my daily life regardless of my family, job, financial situation, or mood or body to reach the truth? Ramana Maharshi says one's duty is to practice continuous self-inquiry. The mind is so used to its tendencies that this is hard for me. It hijacks my attention in a split second. I forget about self-inquiry all the time. I may remember only for a few minutes a day. Please help and guide me.
Acharya Prashant: I want to enquire into your question. You are asking how to live a life dedicated to truth irrespective of one's family, job, financial situation, or mood or body. I want to ask, why do you want to keep these things outside the purview of self-inquiry or truth? You are saying, "Let these things be there, let these things be there as they are, and let me reach the truth." Why are you asking that piece?
The real seeker is prepared to devote, sacrifice everything that he has to his inquiry. He can dedicate everything to the truth. Why are you keeping these things secure? Why do you want to reserve them? How are they so important?
