Acharya Prashant addresses a seeker who feels their spiritual progress is incomplete, using the metaphor of a 'flickering flame' that has not yet become a full blaze. He questions the origin of such concepts, suggesting that these ideas of lack and incompleteness are often imposed by external sources like teachers, scriptures, or media. He explains that the mind often creates a 'fictional illness' through the very process of seeking a 'cure.' If the sense of deficiency is false, then any effort to fix it is also unnecessary. He emphasizes that the true state of the self is beyond comparison and cannot be categorized as a spark or a flame. He further explains that human life is often characterized by 'heat' or 'fever,' which manifests as excitement, desire, and agitation for achievements like wealth, status, or even God. This heat is proof that a fire is already burning within, but it is a fire of suffering. True liberation, or Nirvana, is not about increasing this flame but about its extinction—becoming cool and quiet. He critiques the egoistic tendency of humans to act as if they are superior to the divine, trying to 'fix' the world or themselves through constant effort and worry. A true saint, he concludes, is like a child who has dropped all burdens, living in a state of natural ease and innocence, free from the weight of being a 'doer' or a 'fixer.'
