Acharya Prashant responds to a young man who is confused about whether to pursue his worldly dreams or follow his friend's path of renouncing his job for meditation. The speaker asks the questioner to clarify what he wants to balance, rephrasing the dilemma as a desire to balance his dreams with the concept of meditation and renunciation. He points out that the questioner wants to have both, seeing his friend's complete renunciation as an extreme. The speaker likens this desire for balance to mixing two types of poison, a yellow one and a blue one, and asking for the right proportion. He asserts that both our dreams and our common understanding of renunciation are poisonous. He explains that our dreams are often limited to worldly pursuits like making money, having children, and gaining prestige, which he calls the 'blue poison' of the world. On the other hand, the prevalent form of spirituality, which he calls the 'yellow poison', is also a trap. This false spirituality involves superficial actions like performing rituals, joining an ashram, changing one's name, adopting specific behaviors, and speaking in spiritual jargon, often with an English accent. He criticizes the notion that life is about frantically chasing dreams or that a dead person can be revived to run a race, calling such ideas vulgar and ill-mannered. He states that both the person running after dreams and the one who dons a robe and talks of other worlds are deluded. Acharya Prashant defines true spirituality as living in this world with decorum, beauty, and rhythm. It is not about leaving the world or holding onto it. A spiritual person is fully aware of the world's ways but is not a slave to them; they are in the world but also somewhat outside of it. Their very being gives evidence of a connection to something beyond birth and death. Spirituality is about knowing and understanding life—our relationships, emotions, thoughts, and dreams—rather than living blindly. It means having love in life and dedicating it to a worthy, high aim. He cautions against the illusion of knowing that comes from merely having words for concepts. True spirituality is to see with open eyes, not just to run blindly. It is about abandoning foolishness and darkness, not about holding onto or leaving home. It is not about clinging to money or throwing it away. It is about living with understanding.
