Acharya Prashant clarifies that receiving knowledge from Shri Krishna does not require one to empty the mind or stop the intellect. Instead, one must refrain from using their resources, such as intellect and arguments, as a defense against the teachings. He explains that a person's entire existence is a resource, and the problem is not the possession of these resources but their destructive or malicious use to protect the ego. The intellect often becomes a tool for the ego to avoid change and maintain the status quo.
