Acharya Prashant explains the relationship between Shri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda, clarifying why the master initially withheld the experience of the highest state of consciousness, known as non-conceptual absorption, from his disciple. He notes that while a saint who has realized the ultimate truth requires nothing for themselves, they retain a single, impersonal desire: the welfare of the world. Shri Ramakrishna recognized that Swami Vivekananda possessed the necessary qualities—youth, intellect, and physical strength—to serve as a medium for dispelling ignorance and suffering in India. Had Swami Vivekananda attained the final state of liberation too early, he might have entered a state of complete detachment, losing interest in the worldly welfare that Shri Ramakrishna sought to promote. Therefore, the master kept him one step away from the final liberation to ensure he remained grounded in compassion. Acharya Prashant further elaborates that true enlightenment is never purely personal. He uses the concept of the Bodhisattva to illustrate that one who has reached the threshold of liberation chooses to remain until others can also be liberated. He emphasizes that Shri Ramakrishna aimed to balance Swami Vivekananda's vast knowledge with devotion and compassion. Only when the master was certain that Swami Vivekananda would use the ultimate realization for the benefit of humanity, rather than personal escape, did he grant him the final key. The speaker asserts that a truly awakened person cannot help but help others, though their methods may vary—some through teaching, some through silence, and others through action, as seen in the different approaches of Shri Rama and Buddha. Addressing the topic of truth and deception, Acharya Prashant explains that for a saint, the utility and welfare of an action are more important than the literal truth. While saints or incarnations might use 'white lies' or perform miracles to build faith and serve a higher good, this privilege does not extend to the common person. Ordinary individuals usually lie out of fear or personal greed, which harms both themselves and others. He advises that until one reaches a state of complete fearlessness and selflessness where they only act for the benefit of others, they must strictly adhere to the truth. The ultimate goal is to reach a state where one's actions are guided by compassion and the welfare of all beings.
