Acharya Prashant begins by correcting the questioner's belief that she has been connected to spirituality for only two years. He states that she has been connected to spirituality for 20 million years but was simply unaware of it. He explains that our very existence is impossible without being connected to spirituality, which he likens to the Self or Atma. This connection is as inseparable as a diamond in the pocket of an unconscious person; the diamond is there, but the person is unaware of it. The Atma is the very foundation of our being, and we cannot be separated from it. He then addresses why people, especially the youth, are misguided and chase after greed. He explains that everyone is fundamentally searching for that very thing—the Self, which manifests as a longing for peace, tranquility, truth, and liberation. Everyone suffocates in falsehood and wants to be free from bondage. The problem is that people do not know where to find what they are seeking. Consequently, they are lured by the many 'false shops' in the world that promise fulfillment but lead them down misguided paths. The solution is not about forcefully controlling the senses but about engaging in inquiry (jigyasa). The senses will always be active, but our responsibility is to investigate the reality and substance of what they present to us and the allurements they offer. This inquiry must be fearless and selfless, as fear and greed obstruct genuine investigation. The process is to first inquire and then reject what is found to be false. He clarifies that he can easily advise rejection because he has already done the investigation, but encourages the questioner to undertake her own inquiry. He further clarifies the concept of 'permanent happiness,' stating that this idea is a product of being addicted to momentary pleasures. Those who seek permanent happiness are essentially seeking an endless supply of the same fleeting joy. True bliss (anand) is not permanent happiness but a state of ease and spontaneity (sahajta), free from the tension of both happiness and sorrow. Supreme bliss (paramanand) is not an enlarged version of small pleasures but liberation from them.
