Acharya Prashant addresses the apparent contradiction between the teachings of Shri Ramana Maharshi and Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj regarding dietary habits and the body. He explains that Shri Ramana Maharshi advises seekers on the path to adopt a pure, vegetarian diet to lighten their journey and reduce obstacles. In contrast, Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj speaks from the perspective of a realized being who has achieved complete separation from the body. For a realized person, interfering with the body's habits, even to correct them, could be seen as a form of identification or entanglement. However, Acharya Prashant warns that while such statements are truthful from a state of liberation, they are not useful for the common seeker who still struggles with bodily and mental identifications. He emphasizes that the idiosyncrasies or habits of realized beings, such as smoking or eating meat, should not be emulated by seekers. These masters were extraordinary individuals whose inner resolve allowed them to reach their destination despite such obstacles. For the average person, these habits only increase the challenges of life. He clarifies that liberation is about the separation of the 'I-sense' from the body and mind, rather than the complete purification of the body itself. Therefore, the advice of Shri Ramana Maharshi is more practical and beneficial for those still on the spiritual path. Acharya Prashant also discusses the nature of spiritual teaching, noting that absolute truth is often silent and unreachable. To be useful, a teacher must dilute the truth and express it in the language of the seeker, which inherently involves an element of falseness. He categorizes teachers into three types: the unreachable realized one, the compassionate teacher who descends to help others at the risk of being misunderstood, and the fake guru who has no real experience of the truth. He concludes that the most useful teachers are often those who face the most criticism because they bridge the gap between the absolute and the mundane for the benefit of others.
