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

Questioner (Q): Acharya Ji, during the process of spiritual sadhana, we have some responsibilities related to both finances as well as physical availability. How to tackle this?

Acharya Prashant (AP): Who are you?

Q: Incomplete consciousness.

AP: So what is your responsibility?

Q: To get completion.

AP: Full stop.

Q: So, what to do of the responsibilities?

AP: What is your responsibility?

Q: To get completion.

AP: Full stop.

Never forget who you are.

If you will forget who you are, you will take up false responsibilities.

Questioner 2: Isn’t the other’s completeness, also our responsibility?

AP: How do you know about other’s completion, when you have not fulfilled your basic responsibility towards yourself? Is it not great arrogance and story-telling? When you do not know what is your responsibility, and what will bring fulfillment to you, what do you know about others and others’ fulfillment?
