Acharya Prashant advises a seeker who has explored many spiritual paths without finding a solution to pick one scripture and delve into its depths. He explains that this does not mean blind commitment, but rather engaging in a deep inquiry. While being open to various methods and teachers is acceptable, hopping from one to another prevents one from gaining the necessary depth. He suggests that the seeker use her past experiences to choose a path that appeals to her most and to stick with it for a while, even without being one hundred percent certain. Addressing the tendency to wait for a better option before letting go of the current one, Acharya Prashant states that this worldly approach is ineffective in the inner journey. In spirituality, one must first drop the lower thing, even if it means facing a vacuum, for the higher to become available. He cautions against the common approach of holding onto one thing until something better is found, as the higher will only come after one has let go of the lower. He recommends turning to time-tested spiritual classics and scriptures, such as the Upanishads, Vedanta, or the songs of the saints, as they have withstood the test of time. He contrasts this with following a living teacher, whose physical presence can be both a blessing and a curse. The ego can be enthralled by the power, personality, and spectacle surrounding a living teacher, leading one to be influenced by these peripheral aspects. Reading a scripture in solitude, however, allows for a more direct and composed engagement with the core teaching, free from the ornamentation of a personality cult. He also critiques the fashionable notion of being 'spiritual but not religious,' as it can lead to the rejection of valuable religious literature.
