Questioner: I believe that I like the ability to trust people. I like I found myself trying to flirt with fake as I say. There are times when I find myself desiring or trying or making a very good effort to be in faith and then there will be time and suddenly I’ll be put off completely. But that was my past. But this is something that I feel now that I probably like the ability to trust people. I don’t know what to do about it. Whether I should trust people or pay attention to it or not? I don’t even know what to do with it.
Acharya Prashant: Man has this ability, a very unfortunate ability to come to a temporary stability in an unstable equilibrium. Because you come from an engineering background so I use this example. You can have a chemical that is unstable but is not coming in contact with something to react with. Now, it can conveniently remain isolated, secured, in its own high-energy unstable position. Right? It can remain so for years, for decades, for a lifetime. Now, how does that chemical gain a more stable, more peaceful, low energy equilibrium? How?
How does that happen in chemistry?
Q: A reaction.
AP: A reaction! It can either react with something else or it can be given situations in which it breaks down, decomposes, and then energy is released and what you get is a stable equilibrium. The inner fire, the energy, the restlessness of the chemical is released in the form of temperature, heat, and sound whatever.
