Acharya Prashant explains that spiritual education is absolutely essential and should be initiated as early as possible. While the capacity for self-observation and self-knowledge begins to develop around the age of eleven, one should start immediately regardless of their current age. He emphasizes that spirituality is not about starting a new activity or ritual, but about bringing awareness to one's existing actions and life. It involves honestly questioning the source of one's constant restlessness, confusion, and fear, and identifying the 'doer' behind these emotions.
