Acharya Prashant addresses the apparent contradiction between his advice to "seek light" and Jiddu Krishnamurti's teaching that seeking is an extension of self-centered activity. He explains that Krishnamurti's instruction to not seek is directed at those who habitually seek darkness and its various shades. Acharya Prashant argues that because humans fundamentally perceive themselves as incomplete, seeking is an inevitable habit that cannot be easily banished. He warns that pretending not to seek while remaining inwardly incomplete leads to hypocrisy and cements one's incompleteness, making it permanent. Instead of demanding an end to seeking, he chooses to channelize this restlessness toward light. While acknowledging Krishnamurti's valid concern that the ego might seek a false light that is merely a disguise for darkness, Acharya Prashant maintains that seeking light, despite its inherent dangers, is a better alternative than the stagnation of not seeking at all.
