Acharya Prashant addresses the popular notion that a spiritual journey begins with a specific triggering event. He explains that this idea stems from a flawed concept that separates worldly, material life from spiritual life as two distinct compartments. He argues that there is no bridge to cross from one to the other, as spiritual life is, in fact, the very foundation of worldly life. Using the analogy of a building, he states that just as every floor is connected to the foundation from the outset, our lives are always connected to a spiritual foundation, whether we are conscious of it or not. He further elaborates that this inherent spirituality is expressed through our desires. From the moment of birth, every desire is a cry for fulfillment, which is fundamentally a spiritual pursuit. The reason we experience a continuous sequence of desires is that no single desire can bring absolute fulfillment. Therefore, he asserts, we are always spiritual, but this spirituality often remains clouded. The purpose of life, then, is the continuous process of clearing these clouds and lifting the veil, rather than waiting for a singular event. To illustrate this, Acharya Prashant refers to stories like the awakening of the Buddha or tales from the Zen tradition. He describes these as convenient narratives that oversimplify what is actually a long, continuous process. He calls it an inferential fallacy to believe that a single event triggered the Buddha's enlightenment, suggesting instead that the Buddha was an inquirer for a long time and the event was merely the "last straw." The seeker was already ripe for realization, and the event was just one more step in an ongoing journey. Concluding with a personal reflection, Acharya Prashant states that there was no such specific trigger in his own life, which he views as a continuous journey of gaining clarity without any quantum leaps or discontinuities. He cautions against believing in miracles, as this can be a way to avoid personal responsibility. The path to truth, he explains, is found within ordinary life by making the right choices continuously. It is this ongoing process of making conscious choices, not a special event, that truly distinguishes one person from another.
