Acharya Prashant addresses a question from a seeker who quotes the Maitri Upanishad and describes his daily routine to ask if he is moving in the right direction. Acharya Prashant explains that having a doubt regarding one's internal wellbeing is itself an affirmation of a problem. Unlike physical health, where a doubt requires a diagnosis that could go either way, in the realm of the mind, the presence of doubt and the need to constantly monitor oneself with an 'internal CCTV' indicates a lack of certainty and security. He suggests that the seeker is likely emulating an external image of spirituality rather than following an internal compass, which leads to a vacuum or confusion internally despite an outward effort to appear perfect.
