Grace! Am seriously glad to have run into your videos! Thank you Acharya Prashant!

Thanks so much, Acharyaji for showering us with so much knowledge!

Not only is boredom infectious, anything and everything that the mind experiences is contagious, infectious. Since the morning, you have experienced shades of happiness, boredom, sadness, excitement, depression, frustration, ambition, hope, anxiety, playfulness, right? Each and every thing that keeps occurring to the mind keeps occurring. Why are we unable to observe that it is not arising from within. That it is a just a reaction to some external stimulus. Why do we fail to detect that? That is one part. Second - what is unique about this situation that you could indeed detect it now. We get attached to our thoughts precicisly because we think that our thoughts, our mind, its disturbances, its hopes, its highs and lows, its attachments, its likes, its dislikes, are our own. Do we know whether that which we consider as our own is our own at all? Are we sure that our thoughts are our thoughts? We invest really, really so much in them. To a vast majority of human beings, what is religion, except and ideology. To the vast majority of human beings, is religion a relentless dive into the Truth? Or is it about pursuing ideals, codes of conduct, myths, stories? Even the thought that we are conditioned is a conditioned thought. Be cautious of your own confidence. The ego likes to settle matters too soon. The ego likes to conclude too soon. Wherever there is a conclusion, wherever there is a settlement, wherever there is an ending that thought can grasp, it is a false ending, a false realization. Boredom was inflicted on you by somebody. Watch out whether excitement too is inflicted upon you by somebody. Does excitement every arise from within? Can you be excited without stimulus? Better to stay in a position of finding out. So go out and discover. See how it happens in the shopping malls, see how it happens in front of the television, in front of your mobile screens, in front of your loved ones, in front of the ones you hate. See how it happens. You must watch the whole process. Watching the process is infinitely more important than coming to well-accepted conclusions. General Truths are of no use to anyone. It is not at all your Truth. It is just something you have taken in as the Truth.

Thank you Master 🙏✨💐
