Acharya Prashant addresses the misconception that spiritual teachers only preach after having enjoyed worldly luxuries. He clarifies that his own life has been far from luxurious; he earns less than a fresh graduate and does not take a salary from his foundation. He highlights that many great saints like Kabir Saheb, Raidas, and Nanak Dev came from humble backgrounds without any material comforts. He shares personal struggles of living in industrial areas and wearing worn-out clothes, emphasizing that he chose this path because it brought him fulfillment and satisfaction, not because it was easy or difficult.
