Acharya Prashant responds to a question based on a quote by Ramana Maharshi, which states that latent tendencies (vasanas) must be completely eliminated before knowledge (jnana) can dawn, and one must be like Janaka, ready to sacrifice everything for the Truth. The questioner asks how one can find the faith to make such a sacrifice without any promises or security, and whether the elimination of these tendencies itself provides this conviction. Acharya Prashant begins by analyzing the questioner's underlying premise. He explains that the questioner operates from a flawed mental model, believing they possess something tangible and valuable (let's call it 'X') and are being asked to trade it for an uncertain, greater value ('3X') from the Truth, without any guarantee. The speaker refutes this by stating that the current human condition is not one of having something positive, but is a deeply negative state. He argues that what the questioner thinks they 'have' is actually a burden, and the problem statement itself is a delusion. He clarifies that Truth is not a linear extension of one's current state; it does not offer a bigger or better version of what one already possesses. Truth does not provide more lucrative promises or securities. Instead, being blessed by the Truth means seeing that what you currently have is not worth keeping. It is about becoming free from the compulsive, neurotic need for company and security. The speaker emphasizes that the very search for security is a life-sucking mirage, and only when one drops this quest does one stop feeling insecure. Acharya Prashant challenges the questioner's assertion of having 'everything' to sacrifice, pointing out the inherent contradiction. If one truly has everything and is content, the need for Truth or liberation would not arise. The fact that one is asking about liberation proves they are burdened and feel shackled. Liberation is for the one who feels this captivity, not for the one who is content. He concludes that the entire question, with its assumptions and desires, is the very 'vasana' that needs to be eliminated.
