Acharya Prashant addresses a seeker who feels a lack of spiritual urge and a sense of dishonesty because they continue to choose falseness despite knowing better. The seeker describes a state of being comfortable with their chains, lacking the guts to change, and feeling like a machine that follows old habits and corporate routines without liking them. Acharya Prashant clarifies that spirituality is not a moral obligation and that no situation is inherently a problem as long as one is truly alright with it. However, he emphasizes that if one dislikes their current life and still refuses to act, rebel, or disown those situations, it constitutes an abuse of consciousness. He explains that humans are creatures of desire, and unless that desire is channelized away from falseness, change is impossible. To know that something is wrong and to dislike it, yet continue to participate in it, is to go against the very essence of being human. Acharya Prashant suggests that the only way to justify such inaction is to dehumanize oneself, which is often what corporate environments do. He asserts that even a child has the natural instinct to spit out what they do not like. Ultimately, he states that being a man requires taking responsibility and declaring that what is disliked will not continue, as this declaration is what defines one's humanity.
