Acharya Prashant explains that as one deepens their study of the Upanishads, two things happen simultaneously: one gains the clarity and conviction to be more convincing to others, and one loses the psychological need to convince them. He observes that the desperation to explain these scriptures to others often stems from a fear of losing old company or social circles that do not value the teachings. True liberation involves the strength to reject bad company, which includes those who treat the Upanishads as mere exotic curiosities rather than the essence of life. When a person is no longer desperate for validation from unworthy listeners, they speak from a position of strength, which eventually makes others realize the power of the knowledge and seek it out themselves.
