Acharya Prashant explains that while traditional spiritual paths often assume a seeker already possesses the intent for liberation, in the modern context, intent must be explicitly emphasized. He distinguishes between 'seeing' and 'intent,' noting that in ancient traditions, a student was only admitted after demonstrating qualities like Mumuksha and Vairagya. In such cases, the teacher only needed to facilitate 'seeing' because the intent was already established. However, for a general audience where no entry criteria exist, seeing alone is insufficient for liberation; the individual must also possess the active intent to be free from suffering.
