Description

Acharya Prashant addresses a question regarding the difficulty of living the ultimate truth of non-duality despite an intellectual appreciation for it. He explains that the realization of truth requires a significant price, which is the surrender of one's own ego and life. He emphasizes that it is dishonest to expect the full delivery of truth without making the necessary commitment and payment. The speaker asserts that God dispatches the 'good' based on the quantum of payment made by the individual. To receive the truth, one must first clear the mental and life space occupied by trivial attachments and 'junk.' He uses the analogy of a girl clearing out a storeroom of junk to make space for fragrant flowers to illustrate that the truth is humongous and cannot arrive if one's life is already filled with little toys and distractions. Therefore, one must be willing to exhaust their own limits and make full payment to experience the ultimate truth.
