Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the concern of clarity being momentary and actions taken in that state later proving wrong. He explains that there are two types of clarity: seeded and seedless. Seeded clarity occurs when the surface is cleared, but the deep inner tendencies or seeds remain beneath. Consequently, time ensures that the landscape is eventually covered with weeds again, much like a clear morning sky becoming clouded by evening. This type of clarity provides a glimpse or a taste of the truth, which is intended to awaken a deep love for the clear sky within the individual. This love then provides the necessary energy to perform the much more labor-intensive task of digging beneath the surface to uproot the seeds entirely. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that uninterrupted or seedless clarity requires immense effort and the destruction of settled patterns. To truly destroy a pattern, one must invest at least as much energy as was originally used to build and maintain that arrangement. Only when one loves clarity enough to put in this level of energy can they achieve a clarity that never ends, which is also referred to as immortality.
