Acharya Prashant explains that as individuals grow and their thoughts gain clarity and depth, they may find that their perspectives no longer align with those of their long-time friends. He advises against simply dropping these friends just because one feels more conscious or better than them. If a relationship was formed during periods of inner darkness or unconsciousness, it is a measure of humanness to try and share the light and wisdom one has since received. He emphasizes that it is a responsibility to bring clarity to those who have been with you, rather than discarding them like used objects or banana peels. He further notes that while it is inevitable for one person to walk faster than another at times, this does not necessitate leaving the other behind immediately. However, he clarifies that this is not an advocacy for contractual bondage or carrying someone who refuses to improve. Instead, he suggests a subjective decision based on whether one has tried hard enough to save the relationship through compassion and empathy. One must attempt to understand the other's frame of reference and ego without being condescending or playing holier than thou, recognizing that they were once in a similar position. Ultimately, he encourages patience, as people require time to see, think, and change at their own rate.
