Questioner: Acharya Ji, if I look at Prakriti with a lot of attention, will I be able to get hints towards the Truth?
Acharya Prashant: Obviously, and you need not confine your observation to flowers or birds. You may even look at man's building, whether you look at a bird's nest or a man's house, this or this, or even this (pointing to the objects in the surrounding).

Acharya Prashant: You have to be receptive. When you say that quality of attention has to be at its highest, it scares me a bit because it smells of tension. The feel that I get is of tension rather than attention. Something has to be at its highest.
