Acharya Prashant addresses the misconception that spirituality involves adopting a new persona or 'mask' of being pure consciousness. He explains that many people treat spiritual concepts as just another respectable identity to wear, failing to realize that pure consciousness is not a role to play but one's very root and center. He emphasizes that it is impossible to 'live like' pure consciousness because that implies a doer trying to imitate a state of being. Instead, the focus should be on recognizing what is unnecessary, impure, and corrupted within oneself. He describes pure consciousness as the light that allows one to see the dirt and filth in the room of their own life. The problem is not a lack of light, but the choice to keep one's eyes closed to avoid the responsibility of cleaning. People often remain blind because acknowledging the filth would necessitate effort and change. Acharya Prashant clarifies that Ashtavakra's teachings are a reminder that we have the power to open our eyes. Once the eyes are opened and the filth is seen, the process of cleaning becomes spontaneous and is not as difficult as one might fear.
