Acharya Prashant begins by humorously addressing the questioner's claim that she cannot speak, pointing out that she is, in fact, speaking to state her problem. He says, "I didn't hear you because you don't know how to speak," and continues by stating that if she doesn't know how to speak, then he doesn't know how to listen, and the lie will be equal. He dismisses her concern about not being able to shout, asking if that should be considered a problem. He suggests that she is focusing on non-issues instead of the real problem. The speaker probes further, uncovering a series of excuses. When the questioner says she wants a teaching job but is in a supportive role she dislikes, he advises her to change it. She then claims she has no time, but he points out she sleeps after work. She says she wakes up early, but then spends time thinking about office matters, an office she wants to leave. He identifies a pattern of her creating one problem after another—speaking, eating, sleeping, thinking—to avoid the real issue. Acharya Prashant concludes that there is a real issue she is trying to hide. He says that a matter that cannot be expressed in words should not be allowed to enter the mind, and a thing that needs to be hidden so much should be renounced. He uses the metaphor of the inner world, stating it should be a clean, fragrant temple with only the image of Truth, not a dark, damp basement filled with insects, snakes, and bats. He advises her to clean this inner space by shining a light on it, as many "insects" will flee from the light. He tells her she has the inner light to dispel her own darkness and should not give shelter to this inner darkness. He encourages her to let the light of Krishna enter within.
