If not Silence, then music. Nothing else

The following is an excerpt from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.

Question: Since the last few days, I have been with you, taking in what you say and the result is that I am clearly able to see the fakeness contained in the world in the ways of mankind. And that makes me ask what is the point of carrying all that madness?

Acharya Prashant (AP): Very important question, because this is what breaches the whole flow of knowing, of realization for so many people.

So, you are saying that the process of knowing, the realization begins and begins to identify what all is fake, artificial, and conditioned in one’s ways, and as one goes deeper into realizing this, one finds that there is no end to detecting falseness. Whatever you touch comes out to be false.

Something shows up as false immediately and something just waits to be shown up as false. In fact, after seeing what use to appear as genuine, solid, true is exposed as to be hollow, one loses confidence in all that still remains solid. One begins to see that the days on which I placed my confidence are numbered, where each and everything that is trusted, believed, lived by, is false one after the other, then the question that has just come is obvious.
