00:00We have a national best-selling author with over a hundred million followers worldwide,
00:06making him the most followed living philosopher on the planet. He teaches both Eastern and
00:12Western philosophy, specializing in translating ancient wisdom for the modern world. It is our
00:19honor to introduce Acharya Prashant. There seems to always be an emptiness at the end of the tunnel.
00:27You know, it's the, there's always a bottom to the bottle. And I think people are realizing that
00:32the spiritual fulfillment they seek is not coming from constantly, you know, chasing
00:40stimulation. Do you feel that perhaps this is why more and more people are turning towards spiritual
00:47pursuit? Yes, you're right. This might be the reason more and more people are turning towards
00:54the so-called spiritual world. But what we usually call as the spiritual world is nothing but an
01:03extension of the material world. The direction remains external. Initially, it was called the
01:09material direction, the direction of hedonism and consumerism and such things. And now the external
01:19direction wears a holy robe and is called spiritual. But in either case, one is still not looking at
01:28herself. Spirituality becomes another marketplace. Enlightenment becomes the next hustle.
