Acharya Prashant addresses a seeker's concern about whether taking responsibility for social causes, such as opening a gaushala or a library, might be fueling his ego. He explains that spiritual progress is gradual and step-by-step. It is natural for some level of ego or selfishness to remain in one's actions initially, as no one is completely free from them at the start. The key is to evaluate if one is making better choices than before based on their current understanding. He emphasizes that one should act with full integrity according to their highest current understanding while remaining open to better possibilities. Growth occurs like climbing a ladder where the next step only becomes visible once you reach the current one. One must not stagnate or settle for sub-optimal actions but should constantly challenge their own limits.
