Acharya Prashant explains that the need for spirituality is recognized through one's own life experiences and sensations, much like how one recognizes hunger. If an individual is satisfied with their current life or still believes in their personal strength and worldly hopes, they may not yet feel the need for spirituality. He suggests that one should fully test their own intellect and worldly methods first; only when it becomes clear that these methods fail to provide true fulfillment should one turn toward scriptures and teachers. He notes that the teachings of great masters often contradict our habitual way of living and belong to a different dimension, which is why people often only respect them superficially while living in total opposition to them.
