Acharya Prashant explains that technology, development, and economics have brought us to a point where we have everything pre-cooked, easy, and ready to be served. He gives the example of being able to be with a teacher like Krishnamurti for a long stretch, but notes that this is not ingrained in us. We live in an age where the smartphone offers very quick gratification, and even watching a 15-minute video is considered an accomplishment. This has less to do with one's spiritual thirst and more to do with the times we are living in. The speaker points out that children are not being tested and are promoted automatically until class eighth, and that examination boards award grades instead of percentages, leading to a situation where everyone has it easy. The path of spirituality, however, is one of rigor, labor, toil, and self-dissolution, and nothing in modern life prepares us for that. Everything is delivered on a platter, especially in developed countries where it is ensured that people do not suffer materially, with benefits for unemployment and old age. This culture of ease makes one question the need to work hard, the meaning of austerities, or penance. The speaker states that 'Sadhna' (spiritual practice) has become a very unreasonable word because everything is available at the click of a button. This is why one would not want to go back to someone like Krishnamurti, who does not entertain and is only palatable once in a blue moon. The speaker illustrates his point with a quote from Kabir Saheb: "Everyone says, 'Let's go, let's go,' but I have a different doubt. You are not acquainted with the Master, where will you go?" He explains that while everyone is rushing and being told to rush, they do not know their destination. He questions what we are saving our time for, noting that this age offers great conveniences and saves a lot of time, but this saved time is often utilized for self-destruction. He concludes that it is a characteristic of our modern civilization that everything has to be a 'quicky,' like two-minute noodles.
