With youth: Ask till you drop the mask
The following is an excerpt from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.
Acharya Prashant (AP): Ask absurd questions. People would say, he has gone mad. But, ask absurd questions. Why should something like a ‘home’ exist? Have you ever asked this question? You go back home every day, have you ever asked this? Why should anything like a home exist? I mean, why can’t we just be, wherever we are? Why do we always need to go somewhere in the evening? Why can’t I just be? You are there, I am there. And we are enjoying. We are here the whole night, spend the rest of the day, and we will leave when we feel like it, then we will go to another place. The whole world belongs to us! What is this concept of a home?
Ever thought? Ask. This is called Inquiry. What is this game about Mummy-Papa? One male, one female, sitting together in a home. What exactly is going on? And these people are supposed to be special. And the whole of religion, and the whole of society, and everything telling me that I must respect and love them. What exactly is going on? Let me understand it, let me understand it. What is this thing called siblings? What are brothers and sisters? What is this thing called society? What is this thing called religion? What does one mean by religion? What is this thing called a normal life?
