Acharya Prashant addresses the concern of facing the challenge of internal transformation while having many weaknesses and impurities. He explains that it is precisely the impurities that need to be put through the fire of spirituality, not the pure Self (Atma). He offers consolation by stating that one only needs to put oneself through as much fire as one can afford, which is why he often speaks of fighting small, daily battles. He warns against fantasizing about massive, overwhelming challenges, like "oceans of fire," as this thinking prevents one from even beginning the journey. The impurities need to be burned down, and this is a task the individual must undertake. A sincere person will do this at a pace that is both affordable and as high as possible. Taking on an unreasonable or unaffordable challenge is a cunning trick of the ego to ensure failure, which then becomes an excuse to avoid all future challenges, surrender to a wrong master, or proclaim a false martyrdom. A sincere person does not want to lose, but they also do not want to keep winning only petty battles that offer no growth. The spiritual path is described as a delicate "rope walk" requiring a wise balance that leans towards adventurism, boldness, and suspense. One should not pick a challenge they are absolutely sure to win, as it is not a real challenge. Instead, one should choose a challenge where the outcome is slightly uncertain, one that is just a little beyond one's current capacity, and then strive to succeed. This process creates a sense of thrill and joy, which is essential for the path. Assured victories and assured defeats are equally unhelpful. The goal is to play a thrilling game and win it every day.
