Acharya Prashant addresses the difficulty of maintaining constant awareness and focus on the divine. He uses the analogy of sports to explain that mastering one skill makes it easier to learn others. Similarly, Brahma Vidya, or the science of the self, is the most difficult discipline, but once mastered, all other worldly challenges become easy to handle. He suggests that the Guru is a practical method or a 'game' designed to help one practice this focus. While the ultimate truth or the supreme soul is abstract and difficult for the gross mind to focus on, the physical presence of a living Guru provides a tangible opportunity to practice total attention.
