Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of being overpowered by strong, negative conditioning despite having spiritual knowledge. He advises against waiting for a problematic moment to seek help, as it is immensely lucky but rare to get support right in the moment of crisis. He compares this to having a heart attack right next to a hospital, which does not usually happen. The practical solution is to prepare beforehand so that such problematic moments become infrequent. The onus of finding and staying close to one's Gita is entirely upon the individual. While having the personal attendance of a figure like Shri Krishna is difficult, the task today is made easier by the ubiquitous availability of the Gita. Acharya Prashant asserts that Shri Krishna is the Gita; the two are one. Therefore, if one keeps asking for a physical form like Shri Krishna, they will most likely meet disappointment. The Gita, however, is an immortal gift that is always with us, will never be absent in the moment of requirement, and will never disappoint. One must be with the Gita throughout, not just wait for a moment of need. One can never be done with it; to know it even superficially requires going to it again and again, continuously. Acharya Prashant shares that with every fresh instance of intimacy with the Gita's verses, the experience becomes even more delightful. He contrasts the hunger of the body with the hunger of consciousness. The body's appetite for food reduces with intake, but the consciousness's appetite for light or knowledge increases with more acquaintance—the more you have it, the more you want it. Conversely, those who do not have it, do not even want it. When dealing with people who are not interested in the Gita, he explains that he does not spend much time with them, not out of disgust, but because his time is limited and better spent with those who are eager. However, he never gives up on anyone, as the Gita is the destiny for all. One must wait for others to reach a certain ripeness and then approach them with the right intentions, as one cannot force these things or perform miracles.
