Acharya Prashant clarifies that a mind filled with realization is not one that has accumulated knowledge, but rather a mind that is empty and silent. He addresses the common human tendency to seek knowledge in distant fields like science, economics, or space while ignoring the immediate reality of one's own life. He emphasizes that a true seeker must begin their investigation with what is closest to them—their intimate relationships, daily habits, religious beliefs, and the people they care for. This focus on the 'near' is often avoided because the ego derives its identity from these very things, and investigating them threatens the ego's existence. Furthermore, the ego finds no prestige or external rewards in understanding mundane habits, whereas it seeks glory in distant, complex discoveries. He explains that investigating the near requires immense courage and is the true price one pays for spiritual growth. This process of inquiry is not opposed to faith; in fact, it requires deep faith to walk a path that feels dangerous to the ego. One must have the conviction that something better will remain after the investigation. Acharya Prashant advises that as long as one feels a sense of peace and joy, there is no urgent need for further questioning. However, the moment any doubt, deficiency, or restlessness arises, one must use their full strength and discernment to investigate the cause. He concludes by affirming that where there is genuine peace, no further explanation or words are necessary.
