Acharya Prashant responds to a question about the knowledge that must precede action. He clarifies that this knowledge must be of the actor itself. This is a very dynamic knowledge that can only be attained in the flux of life. He uses the analogy of measuring the speed of water flow: you cannot stop or freeze the water and then measure its speed; you have to measure it during the flow. Similarly, life is a constant movement, and it can only be known in the movement itself. The speaker then addresses the questioner's notion that coming to India would bring about a change. He explains that India is just a notion, a geographical entity made of soil, roads, and mortar, which cannot provide fresh insight. When one is identified with the body, which is the fundamental nemesis, one becomes identified with everything physical, including the soil of a particular geography. The real India to come to is the right company, the right environment, and the right process of self-inquiry. One comes to India to probe and know oneself. Acharya Prashant points out the paradox of nearness and farness, citing an Upanishadic quote, "Tat dure, tat antike" (That is far, yet that is near). He explains that one can be physically very close yet spiritually very far. The senses can create a deception of nearness, making one feel they have arrived when they have not. This is why it is important to be disappointed, as disappointment is a curtain-raiser that reveals the falseness of one's previous notions. It is only when one is deceived in a false love that one can realize it was fake, and that realization is the beginning of real love. The process of spirituality involves deep discussion, deliberation, and opening up, not just a physical journey.
