You were born with clothes; learn to die naked

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

Question (Q): I really believed all things that happened to me, that it was terrible. Oh! that I was so unlucky. Oh! everything happened to me. I really believed that, until. But, I mean, I still can’t stop feeding my mind. I am at a point where I see that it is all fantasy, that it’s my mind. So I hope that I already walked some steps. I mean, I see. You know, I say it, or go to bed and it starts again.

I don’t believe it anymore, the mind. But how to handle it? I am still learning. But I am already that I say, “Oh my God! here he is. Oh, here he is. Here he is. That little language. But now the other steps. Ya?

Acharya Prashant (AP): There are no other steps. If there are five steps, you need to remember all five. Do you want to take that much of a burden? Really? Do you want to remember steps, just as you learn the alphabet, mathematics, geography, and science? Do you want to remember the steps as well?

Listener 1 (L1): No, let me say…no.

AP: Then just walk around like a girl. Why not?

L1: Ya…here I am OK. Ya. Let’s enjoy…life.

AP: You are seriously considering being not serious. Right?
