Acharya Prashant explains that spiritual methods and techniques are meant for those who wish to attain the Truth while simultaneously clinging to their ego and stubbornness. He uses the analogy of a person trying to run while carrying a hundred-kilogram weight; while it is possible to reach the destination after years of practice, it is far more natural and simple to just drop the weight. This weight represents one's ego, false identity, and attachments. Methods are for those who want to reach liberation without changing their current lifestyle, business, or beliefs. He asserts that practice is only necessary if one's mind is fragmented and attached to many directions, whereas a single-minded thirst for Truth requires no such practice. He further clarifies that attachment is a choice, not a compulsion. The decision to seek only the Truth is born out of love and a sense of helplessness, rather than intellectual deliberation. Many people engage in spiritual practices as a form of self-deception to convince themselves they are making progress while remaining entangled in worldly affairs. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that while a child-like nature is natural for a child, spiritual maturity for an adult means moving beyond the inner child and its immature tendencies. True adulthood involves leaving behind the internal 'monkey' or the noisy child within to attain the state of Samadhi.
