Description

Acharya Prashant addresses a question from a seeker in the Netherlands regarding Rumi's concept of transitioning from being a hunter to being the hunted. He observes that the seeker's very act of asking how to be hunted demonstrates that the transition is already underway. The common instinct for self-preservation would normally lead one to hide from such a dissolution, yet the seeker is actively petitioning for it. He explains that while the mind may seek an academic method or a 'how-to' for surrender, the willingness to ask the question proves that the method is unnecessary. The seeker has already demonstrated the essential readiness to disappear and die to the self.
