Acharya Prashant addresses the concern of becoming overly dependent or 'addicted' to spiritual teachings and the teacher. He explains that when one encounters something truly auspicious, beautiful, or truthful, there is no need to maintain a sense of balance or control. Instead, one should allow themselves to be fully immersed and consumed by that light. He emphasizes that the Truth is not meant to enslave but to liberate. If the source of knowledge is authentic, it will eventually make itself redundant by empowering the seeker to become a source of light themselves. He uses the analogy of two candles, noting that the second candle must approach the first without reservation to be set alight, after which they can both go forth to dispel darkness in different spheres.
