Acharya Prashant addresses the apparent contradiction between Jiddu Krishnamurti's teaching that seeking is a self-centered activity and his own advice to seek light. He explains that Krishnamurti's instruction to not seek is directed at those who habitually seek darkness and its various shades. Acharya Prashant argues that because humans fundamentally perceive themselves as incomplete, seeking is an unavoidable habit and a deep restlessness. He warns that attempting to follow a commandment of not seeking while remaining inwardly incomplete leads to hypocrisy and cements that incompleteness, making it permanent. Instead of advising against seeking, Acharya Prashant chooses to channelize this inherent drive toward light. While acknowledging Krishnamurti's valid point that the ego might seek a false light that is merely an extension of darkness, Acharya Prashant maintains that seeking light, despite its associated dangers, is preferable to the stagnation of not seeking at all.
