Acharya Prashant addresses a young woman's fear of being stuck between her worldly aspirations and the path of Truth, a state she describes as 'neither getting the illusion (Maya) nor the Truth (Ram)'. He begins by challenging the notion that one can want the Truth (Ram), explaining that the Truth is beyond imagination and therefore cannot be an object of desire. He asserts that what people truly want is the illusion (Maya), and the fear is not of missing the Truth, but of losing the comforts, conveniences, and assurances that come from Maya. The speaker advises the questioner to first articulate her fear correctly. The fear stems from losing the security of a pre-defined life path, which offers physical comforts, monetary benefits, and a sense of predictability that the ego loves. The ego finds this well-laid-out track, like a railway track, very comforting because it knows all the milestones and stations in advance. He further explains that the ego conspires against freedom by creating a distorted and scary image of it. This imagined, frightening version of freedom is then used to build arguments against pursuing the path of Truth. For instance, one might argue, 'If everyone becomes a Buddha, who will run the world?' This argument is based on a flawed, imagined concept of what Buddhahood entails, and this very imagination serves as a credible argument against seeking it. The speaker calls this a cheap conspiracy of the ego against the Truth. He states that the ego's imagination is rotten and is used as 'cannon fodder' against the Truth itself. The ego imagines freedom just so it can develop fresh arguments against it. Acharya Prashant advises the questioner to forget about the Truth, as it is not something to be remembered or acquired. The real task is to forget and drop a lot of things—what is unnecessary, needless, and known to be harmful. The responsibility is not to attain something more, but to drop what is already a burden. He likens the situation to being in a prison; the focus should not be on passing an entrance exam to a new place but on making exits from the current confinement. If doors do not exist, one needs the power to blast the walls. Therefore, the real need is for the power to break free from existing bondages, not to worry about a future state of being 'Ram-qualified'.
