Acharya Prashant addresses the misconception that spiritual realization leads to the abandonment of worldly duties and a lack of motivation. He explains that the common understanding of motivation is rooted in a sense of incompleteness, where one acts only to fulfill a perceived lack. In contrast, the fulfilled individual acts from a state of completeness and love. He clarifies that realizing the Truth does not mean becoming inactive; rather, it leads to actions that are characterized by rhythm, beauty, and great vigor. He cites examples like Shri Krishna, Kabir Saheb, and Adi Shankaracharya to demonstrate that those who have realized the Truth are often the most active and successful in the world, performing great deeds without being driven by personal motives. He further explains that the fear of losing one's family or responsibilities upon seeking the Truth is a tactic of the ego for self-preservation. The path of Truth only removes what is unnecessary and teaches the real meaning of responsibility. He argues that parents who act out of worldly motivation often inadvertently ruin their children because they do not know what is truly good for them. A person centered in the Truth acts out of love rather than fear or duty, and their actions are guided by the needs of the situation and the demands of righteousness. Such a person is not identified with any specific profession or role but is free to act wherever they are needed, performing tasks selflessly and incessantly.
