Acharya Prashant addresses the question of how to deal with people who are stubbornly fixed in their positions. He uses the analogy of a thick iron door, explaining that it is futile to fight the door itself. Instead, one must address the 'lovelessness' that caused the door to be shut. The door represents a person's solid, impenetrable argument, which often stems from a perceived lack of love. To engage meaningfully, one must address this underlying issue, as simply attacking the argument is a foolish and violent act that will not lead to openness. The speaker distinguishes between two kinds of arguments. One is a genuine narration of one's position, which indicates an openness to being convinced. The other is an argument used as an offensive weapon to defend and fortify a position, without any intention of changing. Engaging in argumentation with someone who is not open to change is pointless. Even if one manages to defeat their argument, their underlying resolve remains untouched; they are merely silenced and may cease communication altogether. The prerequisite for any fruitful dialogue, or 'samvad', is love, which is described as an openness and a vulnerability. Without this foundation of love, any interaction becomes a mere debate and dispute, or 'vaad-vivaad'. Acharya Prashant quotes Kabir Saheb to emphasize that without love, dialogue is useless. Therefore, instead of arguing, one should try to awaken the other person's capacity to listen, as a deficiency in listening is fundamentally a deficiency in love. In response to a follow-up question about the mind's grip, Acharya Prashant advises continuous self-examination. He explains that the act of examination is twofold: it helps one to know whether the mind's grip has loosened, and the examination itself is the process that loosens the grip. Therefore, the only way forward is to keep observing and examining one's own inner state.
