Acharya Prashant explains that people often use sleep as a secret escape route when they lack the courage to openly leave a spiritual discourse. Because of social conditioning and morality, one cannot always physically walk away, so they resort to sleeping while sitting. He warns that this tendency to flee mentally will eventually manifest as physically avoiding such gatherings or making trivial excuses. This behavior is not an isolated incident but a reflection of one's entire lifestyle and daily routine. If one's life is filled with superficiality and sensory stimulation, the mind will naturally find spiritual texts and profound discussions unappealing and burdensome. He emphasizes that the inability to focus on scriptures like the Upanishads or the teachings of Jesus is a direct consequence of one's prior actions. If a person spends their time immersed in worldly gossip, material concerns, or stimulating entertainment, they cannot suddenly shift their importance to the divine. The mind cannot value two opposing things simultaneously. Therefore, if the mind wanders or feels restless during spiritual study, one must examine their daily activities and habits. The roots of today's lack of focus lie in the choices made yesterday; unless the underlying conduct and interests change, the results will remain the same.
