Acharya Prashant addresses a questioner who feels burdened after failing to convince his parents of spiritual truths and experiencing setbacks with students he considered special. Using the analogy of a train accident, Acharya Prashant explains that while it is one's duty to first help those closest to them, one must not waste precious time or become despondent if they refuse assistance. He emphasizes that there are hundreds of others waiting for help, and focusing solely on one's family can itself become a form of attachment. He advises maintaining a balanced approach: continue offering help to loved ones periodically without being tethered to their acceptance, while simultaneously reaching out to others who are receptive.
