Acharya Prashant addresses a questioner who has lost the initial freshness and excitement in reading scriptures. He explains that the nature of the mind must not be forgotten. The mind is never happy with itself and therefore is always looking for continuous change. This tendency applies even to reading scriptures; the mind will eventually act unhappy and dissatisfied. This makes the process of reading inefficient because the mind is not fully partaking in it, becoming an unwilling recipient. To counter this, Acharya Prashant suggests giving the mind the change it desires. Instead of reading only one kind of scripture, one can explore the vast diversity within spiritual literature. He points out that even within Vedanta, there are hundreds of texts. One can also turn to Zen koans, Sufi literature, stories from European mystics, or the teachings of masters like Lao Tzu and Lieh Tzu. If the mind becomes resistant to the written or spoken word itself, one should then attempt action. Spirituality is not just about reading; it is also about acting. One must "act to learn." Explaining the concept of "act to learn," he advises challenging the aspects of oneself that promote stagnation. This challenge must be applied through action in all areas of life, including one's workplace, home, and physical habits. This can involve changing the clothes one wears, the company one keeps, the way one manages the house, one's appearance, and one's diet. The ego finds security in the past, which manifests as fixed habits. Challenging these habits is a part of the spiritual process. He advises not to blame oneself for the mind's boredom, as it is a natural tendency even for sincere seekers. The solution is to play games with the mind, giving it what it wants (change) while still guiding it in the right direction, for instance, by listening to devotional music like Kabir Amritvani or recitations from the Guru Granth Sahib or the Ramcharitmanas. Addressing a follow-up question about personal relationships being the motivation for one's spiritual journey, Acharya Prashant affirms that this is the case for everyone. The ego will never move towards the right thing with the absolute right intention from the beginning. It needs to be tempted with a seemingly lowly reason, like a reward, to move towards the highest. One should not be disappointed by this. He says, "blessed be the lowly reason that takes you to the highest." The ego must be "cheated" into spirituality. You tell it, "Come, we'll have fun," and the disappearance of the ego is indeed good fun. Later on, one will be grateful for this loving deception, realizing it was the only way to be brought to the right place.
