Acharya Prashant explains that faith is an expensive and final state that should only be reached after traveling a great distance in one's journey. He suggests that for a young person, being doubtful or skeptical is a welcome and necessary state. He cites the example of Swami Vivekananda, who remained doubtful of Shri Ramakrishna Paramhansa for a long time. Because Swami Vivekananda possessed integrity and refused to compromise with falsehood or accept anything easily, he avoided falling prey to fraudulent teachers and eventually found a true teacher. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that acceptance without scrutiny lacks richness, meaning, and significance, leading to shallow and fluctuating beliefs. He further asserts that true faith cannot exist without being initiated by doubt. Faith that arrives without the process of questioning is merely flimsy trust rather than authentic faith. He encourages the listener to let doubt act as the interlocutor that introduces faith. When doubt itself validates and introduces faith based on its own credibility, that faith becomes substantial. He concludes that most people lack a real center because they lack the depth that comes from the rigorous process of doubting before accepting.
