Acharya Prashant discusses a story about the Prince of Tirmidh and his court jester, Dalkark, to illustrate the nature of virtue and the importance of living dangerously. The jester, having married nine supposedly virtuous women who all turned out to be unfaithful, decides to marry a known harlot. He argues that his previous attempts at using 'good sense' led only to grief, and he now chooses to 'cultivate madness' by forsaking safety and reputation. Acharya Prashant explains that the jester's experience reflects the failure of human choice and the realization that what society labels as virtuous is often a facade. He defines a 'harlot' in the spiritual sense as anyone who is attracted to anything other than the Truth or silence, noting that even a notorious person who is honest about their nature can be more pious than those who hide their lack of virtue. The discourse emphasizes that true courage must precede the thought of taking risks. Acharya Prashant asserts that significant motives are not deliberate but are blessings arising from a full heart. He warns against the delusion of 'maya,' where one falsely believes they can move away from the Divine, comparing it to a fish trying to swim away from the ocean. Using Rumi's metaphors of the ocean and the falcon, he explains that the Divine only approaches those who have made themselves vast and deserving. He cautions that one must be honest about their own state of being; if one lives a small, ego-centered life, they will only attract small things. The ultimate lesson is to recognize the rarity of Truth and to be vigilant against mislabeling petty attachments as something grand or divine.
