Acharya Prashant explains that the urge to constantly speak, even while others are talking, indicates that a person is not truly communicating with others but is merely trying to hear themselves. He suggests that if one feels a desperate need to speak, they should first address those thoughts privately. True communication requires an understanding and respect for the listener; otherwise, the speaker is treating the other person like a wall to bounce their own ideas off of, regardless of the listener's interests or well-being. He notes that many people engage in dialogues where neither party is actually listening, using the other person as a mere mannequin to validate their own internal noise. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that humans are often so full of themselves that there is no room for truth. He advises that one should finish their internal chatter before seeking a teacher or a guide. Listening is rarely a voluntary choice for most; it usually happens out of necessity when one realizes that their own ideas and 'ammunition' are insufficient to solve their problems. He compares the teacher to a physician whose advice is only followed when the patient feels the severity of their illness. One can only truly listen when they reach a point of helplessness and realize that their own superficial discussions lead nowhere. Finally, he asserts that if anyone were to discuss any topic with complete honesty and depth, they would get stuck within five minutes. This realization of one's own limitations and contradictions is what creates the space for genuine listening. Most people continue talking for hours only because their discussions remain at a very superficial level. Only when one has significant goals and faces deep internal knots does the need for a wise guide or a Guru arise to provide clarity and light.
