Acharya Prashant explains that to know if anything is enough, it must be assessed on the criterion of your need. To know your need, you must know yourself, as your need is another name for who you are. He states that we are consciousnesses in need of upward movement, ascension, and purification. We are needy minds and needy consciousnesses. Everything one acquires in life, whether it's a t-shirt, status, a car, family, money, or knowledge, is actually to fulfill that one central inner need. To determine if you have acquired enough, you must look at your need and see if it has been totally fulfilled. If it has, you need not acquire any more. However, the speaker points out that the question is often misplaced, as acquired stuff is not an end in itself but a means towards an inner end, which is the need of the consciousness to be fulfilled. If the inner need still exists or has even aggravated, it means the things acquired so far have not helped. The things were acquired for the sake of consciousness, but instead of deepening and purifying it, they have maligned and dirtied it. This realization does not mean you have acquired enough, but that you have acquired the wrong things. You still need to acquire a lot, but now you must acquire the right things. Using an analogy, he says if you have acquired dirt and dust, you still need to acquire, but now you need detergent. The process of acquisition is not to come to an end but has to be turned to the right direction and the right things. For instance, if professional knowledge has not helped your inner self, you now need knowledge of a different dimension, like wisdom literature and spiritual knowledge. Spirituality is not about renouncing everything, but about learning to ask for and acquire the right things that you truly need.
