Acharya Prashant explains that true spiritual practice, or Sadhana, is impossible without enduring suffering and struggle. He defines Sadhana as the act of exerting force against the internal enemy—one's own ego, tendencies, and conditioning. This process inevitably requires a transformation of both internal states and external circumstances, as the two are deeply interconnected. He emphasizes that one cannot progress spiritually while insisting on maintaining their current lifestyle, emotional attachments, or social environment. To seek spiritual growth while clinging to old habits is as illogical as trying to climb the Himalayas while refusing to move from one's current spot.
