Acharya Prashant addresses the question of how to give an appropriate response to unexpected situations. He explains his own process when faced with a question, which he considers a situation. He interacts with people of various ages, from 16 to 60, from different cities and colleges. He states that he does not have a ready-made, pre-determined answer for anyone's question. When a question is asked, it is a situation, and he does not have a pre-planned response. His only action is to listen with attention. He forgets his own identity and dedicates everything to knowing, not to self-protection or memory. Even if a question has been asked before, he does not rely on memory for the answer. The solution to a problem emerges from getting closer to the situation itself. The more you understand the situation, the closer you get to the problem, the solution reveals itself. The interesting thing is that as long as you call a problem a 'problem', you will not go near it because it will seem daunting. The solution to a problem lies in getting close to it. He advises to stand fearlessly and understand what the matter is, without trying to save oneself. When you do this, an answer emerges on its own. This answer is fresh and new, not something from memory. He emphasizes that he is not speaking from memory but is listening to the questioner's words and looking at their face, and then what has to happen, happens on its own. He concludes by stating that if you live life in love, you will automatically find the appropriate response to every situation. But if you live in fear, every response will be inappropriate because a scared person can never do anything right. The solution to a problem is found by getting close to it, just as in mathematics, the solution is hidden within the problem. The solution is not something that comes from outside; it comes from intimacy with the problem. The solution will be unexpected, not something you already knew. Understanding means the tension is over, and there is no need to think about it anymore. Understanding is not a statement; it is the absence of the thought itself. When the question itself disappears, that is called understanding.
