If you will wait for complete inner silence, you will have to infinitely wait. And that is one mistake that most of us make, we say, “You know I’m not yet 100% certain.” You will never be 100% certain. If you’re 99% certain, 1% uncertain and you decide not to move, whom are you favoring — the 99% or the 1%? Why do you favor the 1%? If you are 99% certain, 1% not certain, then move.

Questioner: Namaste Acharya Ji.
Acharya Prashant: Welcome
Questioner: Acharya Ji, I’ve been listening to you more than an year now and my life has been upside down because I was in a depression and then I recovered it. And I’m with peace because things which were destroyed, they must have been destroyed even before. But I’m now trying to rebuild myself and come back. But I’m so consumed in overthinking and I have a lot of inertia. So, I just wanted your point of view to help me unstuck or go faster.
Acharya Prashant: See, if you are stuck that is the situation. One can only know the situation one is in and there is no definite rule that going faster is definitely better than being stuck. If I’m rushing, I must know the whole equation around it, the entire process of rushing. And if I’m stuck, I must also know the two sides that are evenly balanced and I’m unable to take a decision. Being stuck, in itself, is not a problem. No situation, in itself, is a problem.
