Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of having a low self-image and constantly seeking validation from others. He advises that one must first stop seeking validation from those who are themselves invalid. The problem is not in seeking sureness, but in the source from which it is sought. He uses the analogy of consulting a doctor versus a quack; it is wise to seek an expert's opinion and not a sign of low self-esteem, but going to an unqualified person is harmful. The speaker explains that when one seeks advice from the wrong person, the guidance received only deepens the dependence and makes one more unsure. He urges the questioner to honestly assess whether the advice she has received so far has been beneficial, and if not, to stop seeking it. He also refutes the popular notion of being entirely self-sufficient, calling it an ignorant fad. He clarifies that even the Buddha's advice to "be your own light" was intended for a select few advanced disciples, not for everyone, because, given our conditioning, we cannot attain illumination on our own. Acharya Prashant describes two deceptive extremes. The first is the blind follower who is prepared to follow anyone, often ending up with a "quack" or an unqualified teacher. The second is the non-follower who proudly claims to follow no one but is, in fact, following their own ego, which he calls the worst possible guru. He states that both the follower and the non-follower are equally deceived, and these two seemingly opposite stances actually support each other's existence. To find true inner sureness, one must reject both the unqualified outer guru and the inner guru, which is the ego. He recommends starting by turning to time-tested sources like the scriptures and the words of the great Sages, such as Shri Krishna, Ashtavakra, Kabir, and the Upanishads, as the probability of being deceived by them is much lower. He strongly advises against taking life advice from unqualified people like relatives, celebrities, or models. Just as one consults a specialist for technical matters, one must seek guidance on life from a qualified source. By spending time with the truly wise, one will begin to see the unwisdom of the so-called experts in the world.
