Acharya Prashant addresses a question about how to remain at the center while being engaged in the innumerable actions and reactions of daily life. He points out that the question itself is flawed because it presupposes that the current activities must continue. The questioner is not asking whether his actions are right, but rather for a technique to perform them without getting disturbed. Acharya Prashant likens this to asking for a way to be a peaceful murderer, stating, "Murder I must do, because that I have chosen as my profession now... but I want to be a very peaceful murderer. So please teach me peace." He explains that this is how most people misuse spirituality. They want to continue with their chosen life, which may be filled with "rubbish," and use spirituality as a "deodorant" to mask the "putrid odor" rather than cleaning themselves up. The fundamental question of whether one's actions are worth doing is never asked. People want to secure their personal and professional lives and then add Truth as a bonus, but Truth is not an object of compromise. The man who remains centered would not go to disturbing environments in the first place. Acharya Prashant dismisses the idea of having "glimpses of truth" while living a chaotic life, comparing it to a drunkard having glimpses of sunlight at midnight. He asserts that Truth requires a clean space to enter and will not sit in a wretched place. One cannot simply invite Truth into a life that is already filled with clutter. He concludes by stating that those who ask for the sun must be prepared to come out of their caves. You cannot remain in your old, wretched house and also want a new life. Truth will not enter a life and sit at the wretched place you offer it.
