Liberation
Truth
Wisdom
Dissatisfaction
Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the entire spiritual process is aimed at achieving a peace and contentment so absolute that no trace of incompleteness, bitterness, hope, future, or desire remains. He states that the teaching of selfless action begins at the point of dissatisfaction, asserting that all spirituality is intended only for those who are dissatisfied. While external events are random coincidences, how one experiences those events is a personal decision and action, which constitutes karma. He expresses deep opposition to the popular spiritual culture of living in the present, advising instead that one must be highly conscious of the future and the results of their actions. Acharya Prashant further clarifies that duty should be defined by whether an action leads to liberation; if it does not, it is not a duty. He defines truth as freedom from the false and emphasizes the necessity of identifying what is false in one's current life. It is insufficient to merely talk about the truth; one must live it. A mark of wisdom is acting without regard for the result. He concludes by urging individuals to live what they love and to allow something beyond themselves to work through them, which leads to a state of being truly alive.
