Acharya Prashant explains that time and space are the fundamental components of the mind. He defines the mind as a combination of intelligence and the brain, where the brain represents the dimensions of time and space. According to him, every thought, dream, or object is necessarily contained within these two dimensions. The mind is constantly filled with memories of the past, imaginations of the future, and external objects. He asserts that all mental contents can be reduced to these elements, meaning the mind is perpetually preoccupied with what has happened, what might happen, or with other people and things. The speaker describes the brain as a product of millions of years of evolution, which makes it qualitatively similar to the brains of other animals like chimpanzees and lizards. This evolutionary heritage is the source of human anxiety, greed, and mechanical conditioning. He categorizes the brain as being associated with the past, future, objects, and conditioning, labeling it a mechanical slave. Because the brain is a result of evolution, it is inherently tied to time and is the source of all human problems and conflicts. In contrast, Acharya Prashant defines intelligence as that which exists beyond the influence of space and time. While the brain is rooted in the past and future, intelligence resides in the present moment and the self. He explains that intelligence is conscious, awake, and its own master, whereas the brain is inert and mechanical. He concludes that while all problems arise from the evolutionary nature of the brain, their solutions can only be found through the understanding provided by intelligence. He encourages the audience to recognize that they are sandwiched between these two forces: the mechanical brain and the conscious intelligence.
