Acharya Prashant addresses the concern of being unable to distinguish true awareness from another form of deception. He explains that the ability to reject one trap, even if it is to fall into another, is not merely a statement of helplessness but also an expression of power, provided one looks at it correctly. While one might move from one trap to another, the crucial question is why one cannot move from a lower trap to a higher one. He cautions against using the excuse that any movement will lead to another trap to remain in the worst kinds of traps. To illustrate, he gives an example of someone who, upon hearing that words cannot contain the Truth, decides to stop listening to spiritual guidance or reading scriptures like the Upanishads, as they are all just words. While it is true that the ultimate Truth cannot be contained in any word and that all words are, in that sense, false, there are gradations and distinctions even within the dimension of falseness. He uses an analogy: any place one goes to is not the final home, but that doesn't mean one should continue living in a jail. A temple, though not the eternal Truth, is still better than a jail. Therefore, within one's limited capacity, one must do the best they can. He advises, "Let the best not be the enemy of the better." A common deception is to think, "Because I cannot be the best, I will not even be the better one." The real tragedy is not the inability to reach the highest point in one leap, but the failure to do what is easily possible. The problem is not that one cannot attain the highest consciousness, but that one lacks the courage and diligence to take the next small step. People often misrepresent their problems, creating grand, illusory spiritual dilemmas to hide their real, petty issues because they are ashamed to address them. The real defeat lies in knowing what is right but lacking the honesty and courage to choose and live it.
