Acharya Prashant addresses a seeker who feels that despite spiritual clarity, the mind still creates a sense of darkness and the feeling of being stuck at the starting point. He questions the seeker's claim that they perceive the mind's activity as a mere 'game.' He argues that if one truly understood it as a game, it would not cause such deep distress or darkness. He warns against entering the 'game' of the mind without detachment, likening it to someone foolishly jumping into a group of playing lions. He suggests that the recurring darkness might be a necessary warning sign indicating that one's spiritual knowledge remains merely verbal and has not yet transformed into lived experience.
