Acharya Prashant explains that the presence of superficial methods in modern spirituality is not a new phenomenon but has existed since antiquity, including during the time of Shri Krishna. He emphasizes that the type of spiritual guidance one receives depends entirely on the seeker's own values and intentions. If a seeker desires the truth, they will find a guide like Shri Krishna; however, if they seek worldly power or superficiality, they will attract a teacher like Shakuni. Using the examples of Arjun and Duryodhan, he notes that while Arjun was filled with self-doubt and resilience, Duryodhan was certain of his own worldly knowledge and lacked the inner turmoil necessary for true transformation. He further clarifies that spiritual teachers are like shops that exist passively; the active decision to enter a particular shop belongs to the individual. People are often drawn to superficiality because it offers cheap salvation and pleasure without requiring a heavy price. In contrast, true spirituality, as represented by Shri Krishna, is 'tremendous'—it causes tremors in the ego and demands the stamina to endure constant challenges to one's self-concept. Acharya Prashant concludes that many people avoid the clear and illuminating wisdom of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita in favor of fancy, new-age methods because they are looking for shortcuts rather than the rigorous path of true knowledge.
