Acharya Prashant responds to a questioner who is afraid of living a higher life and paying the price for it, feeling stuck in a loop of wasting time. The speaker explains that no change will come while one is sitting in the same place. One must take at least one step forward. He uses an analogy of a person sitting in a dark, stuffy room. People often have large windows in their rooms but cover them with dark-colored curtains. With the door also closed, the room becomes completely dark. If it's winter and a heater has been running, the room is also warm and has a certain smell from being closed all night. From within this room, one complains about the problems, the suffocation, and the darkness. The solution, Acharya Prashant suggests, is to take one step and open the door just a little. Immediately, fresh air and bright light will enter. All one did was take a single step to open the door. He advises the questioner not to just talk about their situation from where they are but to do something new, even if it's as small as taking one step to open the door. He emphasizes that merely describing one's situation is not enough. There must be such vexation, such agitation with one's condition that one develops a detachment (vairagya) from it and agrees to move away as soon as an opportunity arises. Acharya Prashant further explains that many fears are dissolved in love; they are not conquered but forgotten. He gives an example of a poem describing a thin, ordinary girl running barefoot on a dark, rainy night to meet her lover. The poet asks where she got so much courage. The answer is that she doesn't need courage because she has love. Love is higher than courage. Courage is needed where there is fear; where there is love, courage is not needed. He explains that even ordinary physical love can make one so fearless, so imagine what the supreme love for Truth can do. It will fill you with a mega-courage, which is not even courage but a kind of naturalness. He urges the questioner to give themselves a chance to fall in love with Truth. Instead of describing the filth in detail, one should just remove it.
