The irritation one feels upon recognising their unchanged inner state is itself a sign of progress, because two years ago that same rubbish was being mistaken for something valuable. The real shift is not in the clinging but in the quality of seeing. However, seeing alone cannot complete the work. What remains after seeing is a sovereign decision that no teacher, scripture, philosophy, or circumstance can make on anyone's behalf. Drawing on Adi Shankaracharya's framework, Acharya Ji points out that traditional teaching assumed the student already arrived with mumuksha, a deep longing for liberation, and the teacher's job was only to sharpen the seeing. Today, since no such entry condition exists, many people gain clarity through exposure to wisdom but remain stuck because the intent to be free is simply absent. That intent cannot be borrowed, taught, or transferred. It is entirely one's own love, one's own decision, and one's own responsibility. ➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🎧 Listen to #AcharyaPrashant on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3f0KFwe...
