Acharya Prashant addresses the tendency of the mind to create excuses when faced with a living teacher. He notes that it was convenient for the questioner to read Osho after he had left his physical body, as it allowed for the romanticized notion that one would have surrendered completely if the teacher were present. However, when a teacher is physically present, the mind shifts its tactics to doubt and skepticism, questioning the authenticity of the teacher to avoid surrender. He explains that the spiritual path will never match the seeker's imaginations, as the concepts of liberation, bliss, and truth held by the mind are fundamentally incorrect. If one continues to seek a teacher who fulfills their personal fantasies, they will remain perpetually disappointed because such a teacher does not exist. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that the heaven of one's imagination is so exclusive that even the Divine cannot reside there. He urges the seeker to abandon these false expectations and excuses, warning that clinging to them will cause one to miss out on the genuine transformation that is available immediately.
