Acharya Prashant responds to a woman who feels her mind has become dull and has lost interest in everything, a condition her doctor calls a symptom of depression. She mentions that her father forcibly took her home from an Advait Mahotsav by making an excuse about his high blood pressure. Acharya Prashant begins by questioning if she sought guidance before leaving, stating that advice is for those who respect it. He points out that she came to his festival, to a family of 300 people, at his invitation, and then disappeared midway. He calls this an insult to his invitation and to the company of the people there. He questions her awareness, asking if she did not know her father was someone who makes excuses. He suggests that if she knew her father's nature, she should have made prior arrangements or even brought him along. Acharya Prashant then addresses the concept of 'loss of interest'. He explains that in spirituality, interest is a sign of the ego. He critiques modern medical science for being entirely physical and material, which is why it considers interest to be very important. He states that if detachment (Vairagya) arises in a person, in the language of doctors, it is called a 'loss of interest' and diagnosed as depression. He clarifies that 'Vairagya' literally means the loss of attachment or interest (Raag). For doctors, a healthy individual is one who has an interest in everything. If you see that things are inferior and lose interest in them, they will say you have depression. He tells the questioner that she listens to her father and doctors but not to the one she should be listening to. Responding to a follow-up question about dealing with family, Acharya Prashant advises that to do good for them, one needs strength, which cannot be gained by following their incorrect teachings that make one weak. He suggests that one should not try to escape from family but rather save them, which requires strength. He uses the analogy of holding their hand but leading them in the right direction, not letting them lead you in the wrong one. He says the real problem is a lack of love for the Upanishads. If one truly understands the Upanishads, then even without speaking Sanskrit, whatever one says will contain the essence of the Upanishads. He encourages the questioner to develop clarity and strength, which will enable them to handle such situations effectively.
