Acharya Prashant explains that a person of steady wisdom, or a 'Sthitapragya', is not bound by conventional images of a devotee, yogi, or ascetic. Such a person can live in a palace or a cave, eat delicious food or go hungry, and even engage in great enjoyments without being a 'consumer' or 'enjoyer' in the egoic sense. He emphasizes that true liberation is one's nature and does not require fleeing from the world or its pleasures. The speaker clarifies that while an ignorant person is consumed by desires, a wise person remains detached even amidst them, seeing the transient nature of all forms. He warns against judging spiritual depth based on external signs, miracles, or eccentric behaviors, stating that the true sage leaves no footprints and cannot be identified by mere appearances. Acharya Prashant further discusses the concept of 'vasana' (desire/attachment), describing it as wherever the mind 'resides' or gets stuck. He suggests that situations that forcibly detach us from our attachments, like a lack of phone signal in a retreat, can be blessings. He asserts that all reasons for restlessness boil down to the ego, while all reasons for peace are simply the call of one's true nature. He critiques the common tendency to seek 'miracles' as proof of divinity, arguing that existence itself—the fact that we are alive and can perceive—is the greatest miracle. Ultimately, he encourages moving beyond superficial labels and recognizing that a wise person remains established in the 'Great' (Mahat) regardless of their external circumstances or actions.
