Acharya Prashant addresses a seeker's struggle with the changing states of mind and the tendency to slip away from the desire for truth. He explains that the human mind and body are naturally designed by nature to be flawed and to fail in spiritual pursuits. The physical structure, from the skin to the brain, is built for material survival and holding physical objects rather than grasping the truth. He notes that just as an ape climbs a tree for food, a modern human climbs a skyscraper for success; both are driven by the same biological design. This design makes self-reflection difficult and causes the mind to easily gravitate toward external worldly temptations. He further explains that nature has programmed humans to operate on probabilities and to quit after a few failed attempts to ensure physical survival. Therefore, failing in spiritual efforts is a small, inevitable defeat dictated by one's constitution. However, the bigger defeat is the choice to quit the spiritual path altogether. Acharya Prashant advises that one should not be embarrassed or ashamed of small defeats or emotional disturbances, as these are merely material in nature. He emphasizes that while nature can disturb hormones, emotions, and thoughts, it cannot touch the real spiritual core. To overcome uncertainty and the influence of strong emotions, Acharya Prashant suggests a practical method: ask oneself what the right course of action would be if there were no emotions, prejudices, or fears involved. By identifying this objective path and following it regardless of how one feels, a seeker can stay on the course of righteousness. He encourages the seeker to take material hits in stride and remain steadfast, ensuring that the bigger defeat of quitting the path is avoided.
