A questioner describes a state where his initial spiritual urge has diminished, and he feels he has no questions or resistance left. He admits to knowingly choosing illusion (Maya) and falling back into old habits, feeling like he is living a false life and has made friends with his chains. He feels like a dishonest person or a machine, and while he dislikes his daily life, he also lacks the motivation to do anything else, feeling his spiritual progress has nearly vanished. Acharya Prashant responds by repeatedly asking, "So what is the problem?" to highlight the contradiction in the questioner's statement. He explains that no situation is a problem in itself; as long as one is alright with it, there is no need for change. Spirituality, he clarifies, is not a moral obligation. If there is no problem, one can simply relax and enjoy. However, the questioner clarifies that he cannot enjoy his life and doesn't even feel like living. Acharya Prashant points to the core of the issue: at some point, a person must make the simple, non-complicated declaration, "I don't like it." This is the crucial starting point. He states that to be a man and still not act according to one's discretion, to dislike a situation but not disown it, is to abuse one's consciousness. He likens this state to being a machine, an unconscious object that cannot be accused of having a fallen consciousness. He suggests that for someone in this state, the safest escape is to dehumanize oneself and say, "I am not a man," a process he notes is common in many corporate jobs. Ultimately, the speaker emphasizes the need to take responsibility. The declaration, "I do not like it. This will not continue because I do not like it," is what defines a man. If one dislikes their situation but does not act to change it, they are not a man. The solution is to rebel against what one dislikes. The speaker concludes by noting a change in the questioner's face and inviting him to a face-to-face session.
