Already Free Within || Acharya Prashant
So there is this entity this entity that is always craving for this this this something somewhere real or imaginary doesn’t matter but this entity is always craving for something so what does that tell you about the nature of this entity dissatisfied dissatisfied very well captured incomplete can we say that yes and therefore it thinks of all those objects as candidates that will bring it satisfaction or completion. Right?
So that’s what the self is in its own eyes. An incompleteness, a hollowness, a restlessness, a perpetual dissatisfaction. That’s what the self is. A constant dissatisfaction, a constant feeling I am inferior, I’m not worth it. And the more incomplete, the more restless, the more inferior and little and petty the self takes itself to be, the more it will crave for all these objects it sees.
I have admitted I’m hollow from within. And therefore, like a beggar, I keep running after this, that something. Please, please enter my life and fulfill me. Be it a girl walking down a lane or that next car I’m looking at all the time I am just wishing which should be actually called as begging. So who am I in my own admission? A beggar. A beggar.
