Acharya Prashant addresses a questioner who feels isolated and disconnected from society, explaining that being self-sufficient and comfortable in solitude is not a sign of low consciousness or a mistake. He clarifies that if a person can manage their own problems and find peace within themselves without depending on others for emotional or financial support, it is actually a sign of inner strength rather than weakness. He refutes the common notion that humans are merely 'social animals,' stating that spirituality aims to transcend animalistic tendencies. He points out that the questioner is still functionally connected to society through her job and daily needs, so she has not truly abandoned the world. He further explains that most social interactions are 'pathological,' driven by a need to hide loneliness or lean on others' weaknesses, much like crowds flocking to busy tourist spots while ignoring peaceful paths. However, he notes that true inner growth eventually leads to a different kind of social engagement rooted in love and compassion. While a seeker may initially withdraw to find themselves, like Siddhartha Gautama did, they eventually return to society to share what they have realized. He emphasizes that one must first achieve inner purity and strength before attempting to help or guide others, as 'dirty hands' cannot clean others. He concludes that while solitude is a healthy stage for self-construction, a truly enlightened person eventually distributes their peace to the world, though this must be done only after one has genuinely attained it.
