Acharya Prashant: All kinds of teachers are available. Do not say that modern spirituality is full of superficiality. Modern spirituality has both superficiality and centrality. And spirituality, even in the times of Shri Krishna, equally had superficiality and centrality. It depends on you. If you are an Arjun, you will get a Shri Krishna. If you are a Duryodhan, you will get a Shakuni.
In that sense, you see, teachers are pretty passive entities. They’re like shops. Shops really can’t come after you and grab your hand or pick your pocket. Shops can, at most, exist and allure you passively. The active decision to walk into a shop has to be yours. It always is.
So these shops exist. You must ask yourself: why do you step into them? Let those shops be there. If you know so well that there are so many superficial methods these days to attain knowledge, then why do you allow yourself to be taken in by that superficiality?
