Acharya Prashant explains that as one progresses in spiritual practice, the challenges and obstacles from Maya (illusion) naturally increase in intensity. He clarifies that Maya is not an external force but the collection of one's own past tendencies and mental knots. The intensity of the challenge is always proportional to the seeker's internal strength; as your capacity grows, the tests you face will also become larger. He advises that the only precaution needed is to keep moving forward without stopping, accepting that greater purification involves greater friction and discomfort.
