Acharya Prashant addresses the concept of supernatural powers or 'Siddhis' and the appearance of a 'Sadguru' in a seeker's life. Regarding supernatural powers, he explains that even those who believe in their existence warn that they are obstacles on the path to liberation. These powers, such as reading minds, walking on water, or entering another's body, are highly attractive because they provide power and influence over others, leading a person to get stuck in them. However, Acharya Prashant clarifies that he does not believe in such traditional supernatural powers at all. He asserts that claims of flying, knowing the future, or leaving one's body are merely poetic or symbolic and lack factual reality; for matters concerning the body, one should rely on science. On the topic of the 'Sadguru', he explains that a teacher appears when a disciple becomes restless for truth, peace, and liberation. When the mind stops wandering and focuses on a single center of truth, this internal preparation inevitably leads to finding a guide in the external world. He emphasizes that without inner readiness, even if great figures like Shri Krishna, Christ, Buddha, or Mahavira were present, a person would fail to recognize their importance.
