Description

Acharya Prashant addresses a question regarding why spiritual practice feels easier in the company of fellow seekers (Sangat) but becomes difficult when alone. He explains that the human mind is a collection of external influences and lacks a stable, internal center. People often change their behavior and personality based on their environment, acting one way at a wedding and another in a spiritual gathering. This inconsistency occurs because individuals have distanced themselves from their hearts and are instead driven by external 'winds' or social atmospheres. He suggests that since humans are inherently weak and prone to being influenced by their surroundings, they should use this weakness to their advantage by consciously choosing a positive environment (Susangat) that eventually leads to liberation from all dependencies.
