Acharya Prashant explains that enlightenment is not a singular, final event in time but a continuous process. As long as the body and mind exist, they remain susceptible to conditioning and corruption, necessitating a series of absolute enlightenments to defend one's freedom. He notes that spiritual practice remains essential because the tendency toward corruption, while it may reduce significantly, never fully disappears. He critiques the notion of infallible enlightened masters, suggesting that the fall of such figures often begins with the egoic desire to claim a special status or title, which is a temptation born from the fear of life's ordinariness.
