Acharya Prashant addresses the dilemma of outgrowing friendships as one's thoughts gain clarity and depth. He advises against abruptly discarding friends who were present during periods of lower consciousness or childhood. Instead of viewing these differences with hatred or a sense of superiority, he suggests that if a person has received the light of wisdom, they have a responsibility to share it with those they were once close to. He emphasizes that relationships should not merely be about sharing darkness but should also involve an attempt to share the clarity one has gained. He explains that while it is inevitable for individuals to progress at different speeds, this does not justify treating others as disposable objects. He encourages a measure of humaneness and compassion, urging the individual to try their best to educate or improve the other person before considering a separation. This process requires understanding the other's frame of reference and recognizing that one was once in a similar position. He warns against being condescending or playing a "holier than thou" role, as true change in others cannot be forced through violence or arrogance. Finally, Acharya Prashant clarifies that while one should not throw people away like banana peels, there is also no obligation to remain in a state of contractual bondage if the other person is unwilling to change. He advocates for a balanced approach where one gives the relationship its due through patience and perseverance. He notes that people require time to experience and change at their own rate. Ultimately, the decision to stay or leave is a subjective one based on whether an honest effort was made to save the relationship through compassion and understanding.
