Acharya Prashant responds to a questioner seeking guidance on elevating consciousness by stating that the path he is on is itself the method. He suggests two techniques based on the questioner's own words. The first technique is to read the works of sages, saints, thinkers, and philosophers as widely as possible. This study should be undertaken with the understanding that there can be no fundamental contradictions among them, only superficial ones. The practice involves identifying these apparent conflicts and then grappling with them to discover their common, non-dual (Advaita) ground. This process of finding the unity beneath the duality is the first method. To elaborate on this first technique, Acharya Prashant advises expanding the scope of study beyond a single tradition or geography. He suggests comparing saints from different lineages, such as Kabir Saheb, Meera Bai, and Sant Ravidas, with those from entirely different backgrounds like staunch atheists, followers of Buddha and Mahavir, or practitioners of the Bhakti path. He recommends including thinkers from various cultures and eras—Chinese, Middle Eastern, Vedic, pre-Christian, and contemporary. For instance, one could compare the Upanishads with Jiddu Krishnamurti's teachings, or the Bible with Chuang Tzu's. When one begins to perceive the underlying unity in all these diverse teachings, it signifies that one is becoming established in that unity. This method serves to purify one's knowledge. The second technique involves a different kind of comparison. Referencing the questioner's point about living in the world while remembering God, Acharya Prashant advises comparing the saints' words with the ways of the world and, crucially, with one's own conduct. The goal is to identify the discrepancies between the saints' teachings and one's own actions. Wherever a difference is found, a challenge arises, compelling self-transformation. While the first method purifies knowledge, this second method purifies life itself. Acharya Prashant concludes that engaging in these two practices will bring joy.
