Acharya Prashant (AP): Whenever something important will happen in your life, whenever you will go through a transformation, it will be total. It will affect every aspect of your living. Your relationships will change; your clothes will change; your food will change; your voice will change; your thoughts will change; even your face will change. If you block any of these from changing, then you will block the transformations also.
In fact, that is why the life of the man devoted to Truth is a very dynamic life. To only one thing is he committed тАУ the Truth. Everything else keeps changing; he is not devoted to anything else. He will not say тАЬOh, you know, I am committed to youтАЭ. тАЬI am committed to Truth. So, for some time our lives may get intertwined.тАЭ
Have you seen two creepers, like this, they come close, and for a while, they get twisted together and they again part ways? Because both of them are committed not to each other but to the Truth, to life. They are committed to living. So, they are alright. They said тАЬFor some time, our ways crossed each other; for some time, we were together; and then after that, we again parted ways. It is fine.тАЭ Committed to Truth, you cannot be committed to anything else. And if these two decide that they will remain together, then what will happen? Both of them will die.
Go to any creeper,тАФyou know those plants, right?тАФthe тАШ*bel*тАЩ (creeper). And see how it happens with them? There are these flowing waves; they come close, they meet, they intertwine, and then they separate. And then, it is possible that after some more time, they may again come close. Their commitment is to life, to growth. Their commitment is not to each other.
