Living fully means whatever is, is always full. Just go close to it || (2016)

Questioner: There is one thing that comes up when said ‘Live fully’. So, let us take an example of the bath. By 'fully' what occurs to me is you can use a hundred types of products to wash your body.

Acharya Prashant: Living fully does not mean that you have to add something to life. Living fully means that life is already full, and you must not be disrespectful towards that fullness.

I think that it’s an important thing that I missed.

Living fully does not mean that you have to go out and consume life. Living fully does not mean you have to enhance life. Living fully means that whatever is, is always full. There is nothing except fullness. Just go close to it. The separation is the issue.

Eating fully means that every morsel is a great opportunity to know the total. It does not mean what you are eating, how much you are eating.

Q: Yes. The volume, the quantity doesn’t matter, it is the quality that matters.

AP: Yes. It’s the quality. You see, it’s not only the religious ones and the spiritual ones who teach nonsense, the corporates and the consumerists are not behind. They too are eager to teach nonsense. This is consumerist nonsense that 'living fully means consuming a lot, having a lot', it does not mean that.
