A questioner, citing a couplet by Kabir Saheb about finding the worst in oneself, asks about the nature of love for Truth. He describes an internal conflict where one part of the mind, driven by fear and desire, seeks worldly enjoyment, while another part understands that true fulfillment lies in Truth, not in the gratification of desires. He is confused about what love for Truth is and its role in this mental battle. Acharya Prashant explains that the very act of waiting for an answer about Truth is love for Truth. He uses the immediate situation, where the questioner waited patiently through a period of silence, as a direct illustration. This waiting, he says, is the desire to know. This desire is so important that everything else is put on hold. Even though the answer, the solution, or Truth itself has not yet arrived, its value is so immense that one waits silently and motionlessly for its sake. All other worldly attractions, though present and knocking, are told to wait because someone more important is coming. This is the essence of love for Truth. Acharya Prashant further clarifies that the idea of 'experiencing' Truth is a misconception spread by many gurus and is a useless, egoic notion. He narrates a story of a beautiful, wise woman who chose to wait for a monk who might never return, rather than becoming a king's queen. She tells the king, "It is better to be his mistress than your wife." This illustrates the supreme value placed on the object of love, Truth, even in its absence. The waiting for Truth is better than the enjoyment of all other things. Its non-attainment is higher than the attainment of everything else in the world. The speaker concludes that the highest state is to simply wait, without the expectation of a result, as the waiting itself is the joy and the love.
