Acharya Prashant explains that one must remain internally vigilant. When you encounter something imposing, like a 50 or 70-story building or the reception of a large multinational office, it is designed to make you feel small and surrender. In such situations, you should immediately ask, "Who are you?" We tend to do the opposite; even the most ill-mannered person becomes very polite and respectful in a five-star hotel or a large company's reception, essentially becoming domesticated. A German Shepherd, upon reaching a five-star hotel, becomes a local puppy. One should not become a pet or bow down before power. As much humility as one should have before the truth, that much arrogance should be shown before Maya (illusion). Your head should not be raised before the truth, and your head should not bow before Maya. He advises learning to be ill-mannered, especially for those who are very cultured. He tells girls to learn to speak loudly and even use some swear words. This advice is contextual: he tells those who talk too much to be quiet, and those who are too quiet due to conditioning to speak up and even learn to swear. There is a difference between silence born of love and the silence of fear. People become very well-mannered at airports, in front of big officers, or politicians, but they will show attitude to a poor old vegetable vendor. This is where we should be gentle, but we show attitude. Society's principles are the opposite of spirituality's. Society says to maintain relationships with important people for networking. Spirituality says only the One is high, and our networking should be with that One. All others who call themselves high are on my shoe. There is only one who is venerable, to whom the heart is given, and who deserves respect. The simple formula for a free life is to neither take money nor respect from anyone. Money is for the gross body, and prestige is for the subtle body, the mind. A spiritual person can never be truly social because relationships in society are based on money and prestige, not love. Those who lived for Truth, like Buddha, were not social; they left society. And when they returned, they did not follow society's conditions. Those who are dear to Truth do not care much for popularity. In human history, the people who are most known are those to whom Truth was most dear. And those to whom society was dearer than Truth, society itself has turned them into dust; no one remembers them.
