Description

Acharya Prashant interprets Kabir Saheb's words, explaining that the quest for truth is not about better attempts or more effort, but about 'drowning' or letting go. He clarifies that while swimming requires effort, drowning happens when one stops trying to save oneself. All personal efforts only strengthen the ego, whereas the spiritual path is about dissolving and receding. He suggests that even the attempt to 'not try' will initially feel like an effort because we have become so accustomed to being the 'doer'. Like cleaning colors off the skin after a festival, the process of spiritual unlearning requires effort only because we have held onto our burdens so tightly.
