Acharya Prashant explains that the criterion for goodness is whether being with someone makes the mind calm and clears confusion. He states that if a person's company transfers stress and agitation, that company is not right. Regarding the possibility of peace, he asserts that it depends on the individual; if one seeks it with faith, it is possible. He compares the search for peace to a child's demand for a toy, noting that one must first believe in its existence to demand it. He argues that thirst is the proof of water and the desire for peace is the proof of peace itself. He further explains that one should approach a Guru only with Mumuksha, the desire for liberation. He dismisses questions about whether past saints like Kabir Saheb or Shri Krishna attained liberation as childish, stating that such doubts should be resolved through one's own experience of suffering. He emphasizes that liberation requires a struggle against one's own ego and tendencies. He points out the hypocrisy of people who struggle for trivial worldly matters but avoid the struggle for liberation by calling it violence. Acharya Prashant also addresses contradictions in teaching, explaining that different methods are used for the sole purpose of purification. He concludes that if life is full of suffering, it is due to wrong choices, and one must leave the kitchen of worldly options to find true taste. He encourages living a life of devotion, where the intensity of the longing itself becomes the proof of the goal.
