This is Google's top recommendation when you type Acharya Prashant. Most people search for this when they hear about Acharya Prashant or listen to him for the first time. Why is that so? 



This is not innocent curiosity. It is the ego's defensive move.



Why? Because if the teaching is true, it threatens the ego's structure. So the ego deflects: "But what about his wife? What about his personal life? If he is truly what he claims, why does he live like this?" The biographical question becomes a way to dismiss the teaching without engaging it.



The framework would say that the teacher's marital status is irrelevant to whether the teaching is true. A realized person can be married or unmarried. 



The ego floor persists; the body continues its functions. What matters is whether the teaching serves your own dissolution, not whether it fits your image of what enlightenment should look like. 



The fact that this is Google's top recommendation tells you something about the collective ego: it is far more interested in finding reasons to dismiss the teaching than in examining itself. 



The biographical question is the ego's first line of defense against honest self-seeing.



Look at the teaching. Not at the teacher's life. The mirror's personal circumstances do not determine whether it reflects your face accurately.

Acharya Prashant's wife!?
