“Immersing myself in deep meditation.” What do you mean by meditation? And who is being immersed? Please tell me, beyond a trick of words, what is this? But you’ll never ask these questions, because some Baba-ji totally dominated your faculty to question with his get-up and demeanour. Real spirituality is not about something that sounds elevated or respectable. Whenever you are bombarded with high-sounding fluff, learn to ask this question; what exactly does that mean?

Questioner: If everything is happening within consciousness and the individual self is ultimately an illusion, then why does Acharya Ji emphasize finding meaningful work, and doing it with full passion so deeply that you forget time itself? Wouldn't immersing oneself in deep meditation be the most direct path to reconnect with the source of consciousness?
Acharya Prashant: I do all that so that from this entire statement the first little word disappears. What was the first little word? What was the first word in the statement right in front of you?
Questioner: If.
Acharya Prashant: Yes. ‘If’ means for somebody else. It’s an ideal; it is not something of your life. Now repeat the statement starting with If.
