So, if you’ll ask me, “What is Bharat?”
I will wait for you to look at the snow capped Himalayas. And then, when your eyes would be shining with wonderment, then I will say, “That is Bharat!”
Or when you would be reading The Upanishads, and your mind would suddenly be getting lighter and your face would have a sudden radiance and you would have felt for yourself, deeply in your heart what it meant to say, ‘Poornah midah; poornah-midam’.
Then I will say, “That! That is Bharat.”

To know why a man and a woman are in conflict is to know why world is in conflict || Acharya Prashant (2016)
If we can understand why we are not at peace with ourselves, we can also understand why we are not at peace with our neighbour and then with the neighbouring state and then with the neighbouring country and then with the entire universe. Why are we not at peace with anything?
Why are we not at peace with ourselves firstly?
Why are we not happy as ourselves, why are we not settled within ourselves, why are we not just contended? I repeat, if we can know why one man is not at home with himself, why he is not at peace with himself, we’ll also know why nations fight, we’ll also know why religions fight. We have to start at the unit level, the individual level.

The experiencer is a product of experience & hence cannot freely judge experience || Acharya Prashant (2016)
As long as you are valuing, learning cannot happen.
As long as you are assessing, measuring, learning cannot happen.
Learning is invaluable.
Experience has zero value.
The real meaning of Mauna (Silence) || Acharya Prashant (2015)
In a way words are like envelops.
One need envelops but there must be a worthy message within and within is the core, the essence, the Atman or the Self.
If words are being powered from there, if there is a very direct connection, then it is wonderful.
But unfortunately, especially in the spiritual world, what one finds is empty envelops.
Spirituality is not the renunciation of life; it is the art of living fully || Acharya Prashant (2014)
Spirituality is not about dropping. It is about finding.
It is about finding the real you, your Core, your Center, your Essence.
Once that is found, once that is attained, the dropping of all the inessential, happens on its own.
