Acharya Prashant discusses the concept of invisibility and loyalty through a Sufi story. He explains that invisibility is not a supernatural power but a state of being unrecognizable to those who judge based on patterns and expectations. In the story, a Sufi master burns a sacred book to prove to soldiers that he is not a Sufi, as their definition of a Sufi is someone who would never desecrate such a book. By breaking their mental pattern, he becomes 'invisible' to them. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that true faith and loyalty must be directed solely toward the truth, not toward symbols, books, or idols. If one is truly surrendered to the truth, they should have no hesitation in discarding or even destroying the 'GPS' or the proxy—the book—once the destination is reached. He further argues that the life of a truly spiritual person may appear disloyal or inconsistent to the world because they are not committed to social patterns or past promises, but only to the truth. He criticizes the tendency to remain 'honest' to dishonest people or to uphold commitments made in ignorance. He asserts that being honest to dishonesty is worse than being dishonest itself. Using the example of those loyal to Hitler, he explains that blind commitment to the wrong cause leads to destruction. He encourages the 'infidelity' of un-committing oneself from falsehood, suggesting that one should not offer the truth to those who do not value it. Ultimately, he teaches that the only real loyalty is toward the truth, and one must have the courage to break false commitments once the truth is realized.
