Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the concern of feeling disconnected or drowsy when listening to spiritual teachings in a foreign language. He explains that a deep level of intimacy can exist beyond words, where a student can understand and respond to the teacher's essence even without knowing the language. This advanced stage of connection eventually leads to a state where the teacher's physical presence is no longer required, as the teacher becomes an internal voice of silence and calmness within the student. He encourages focusing on the available English content to eventually drop the dependency on language altogether.
