Description

Acharya Prashant discusses the nature of helping others, using the example of Shri Ramana Maharshi, who was often questioned for remaining in a temple instead of engaging in social or political activism. He explains that for a realized being, their very existence is a form of help to the world, and they do not need to perform specific actions to claim they are helping. In contrast, most people who attempt to help others do so with a subtle ego. This ego manifests in two ways: the belief that one is capable of helping (implying a sense of superiority) and the belief that the suffering of others is real. From the highest spiritual perspective, both suffering and the relief of suffering are part of an illusion, as everything is ultimately empty or void.
