Acharya Prashant explains that the straightforward way to decide if one has heard correctly is to investigate and test. He states that those who want to know the truth never back away from experiment and examination; they look for opportunities to verify. If one has the energy to discuss these matters with others, there is a responsibility for purity in one's statements, which comes through the practice of listening. He suggests staying with points that seem contradictory or where one feels stuck, as progress happens only where there is a blockage. He clarifies that being like him requires a large heart capable of bearing the blows of sorrow and smiling in the face of darkness, rather than a desire for pleasure. He warns that the mind is imaginative and fills the gaps in its knowledge with imagination to avoid the labor of finding facts. He advises against letting the mind operate this way and encourages repeated investigation and looking closely. Ultimately, he asserts that having a commitment to the truth is the same as being close to him.
