Acharya Prashant addresses a seeker who feels that their life is falling apart—specifically their business and relationships—after attempting to detach from their ego and worldly identification. The speaker uses the metaphor of a rider getting off a horse to explain that the feeling of things 'going wrong' arises because the individual is still using old, worldly definitions of success and failure. He argues that if one has truly detached from the body and mind, the old definitions of what constitutes a 'spoiled' life should also vanish. He suggests that the shrinking of a business or the ending of old relationships might actually be a auspicious sign of purification rather than a disaster.
