Acharya Prashant questions the seeker's search for the divine, asking whether they are looking for the truth or merely for images and shrines. He asserts that the crowds found in spiritual centers are often misled and that physical practices like complex yoga postures are unnecessary for spiritual realization. He emphasizes that if one truly desires the truth, they must look honestly and directly at their own life rather than engaging in elaborate spiritual practices. He advises that liberation is found by setting oneself free from hope, fear, and the future. Acharya Prashant further explains that spiritual liberation is available instantly through simple awareness and observation. He encourages watching one's daily actions, such as the choice of words, the food one eats, and the natural world around them, including birds and trees. He warns against the pursuit of liberation or God as a form of chasing, which he identifies as a product of fear. Instead, he teaches that the truth is not far away but is as near as one's own breath, requiring only close and honest observation of oneself.
