Acharya Prashant addresses the conflict between tradition and truth, explaining that traditions like Diwali and Navratri often become hollow rituals when their inner meaning is lost. He emphasizes that the only proof of truth is the reduction of one's ego and ignorance. Using the metaphor of Diwali, he explains that lighting a lamp outside is merely a symbol; the real purpose is to ignite awareness within to dispel inner darkness. He suggests that one should only celebrate to the extent that they have actually fought their own ignorance throughout the year, rather than engaging in false celebrations. Traditions should either be given new, profound meanings relevant to the present age or be discarded if they remain mere hypocrisy. Regarding the feeling of being disengaged or isolated from family and friends who follow superficial traditions, Acharya Prashant reassures that this distance is often a sign of growth. He explains that the world is actually waiting for someone to live a life of integrity and truth. If family members ignore or exclude someone from trivial activities, it should be seen as a tribute to their transformation rather than a slight. He encourages staying firm on the path of truth without seeking immediate validation or a following, noting that people will eventually be drawn to authenticity once it is proven through steadfastness. He concludes by stating that having the company of Shri Krishna, or the Truth, is sufficient, and one should perform their duties without desire for results.
