Acharya Prashant explains that his clarity comes from a deep observation of life and self-inquiry. He emphasizes the importance of being conscious of both external events and internal states, questioning the lack of beauty and the presence of conflict in existence. He describes the two essential components of spiritual growth as the observation of the world and the dedicated study of wisdom texts, likening them to the two wings of a bird. He asserts that when these two elements work in tandem, excellence and an exalted state of being become possible, moving beyond a mere animalistic existence.
