Acharya Prashant addresses the apparent contradiction between his advice to "seek light" and Jiddu Krishnamurti's assertion that seeking is an extension of self-centered activity. He explains that Krishnamurti's instruction to not seek is directed at those who habitually seek darkness and its various shades. Acharya Prashant argues that because humans fundamentally perceive themselves as incomplete, seeking is an inevitable habit that cannot be easily banished. He warns that pretending not to seek while remaining inwardly incomplete leads to hypocrisy and cements one's incompleteness. While acknowledging Krishnamurti's point that seeking light can often result in finding darkness disguised as light, Acharya Prashant maintains that it is better to channelize the restless urge to seek toward light rather than suppressing it. He concludes that despite the dangers of the ego seeking a false light, the attempt to seek light is a superior path to the stagnant and hypocritical state of not seeking at all.
