Acharya Prashant explains that time and space are not external physical realities but are properties of the human mind. He asserts that time and space exist within us rather than us existing within them. The mind perceives things as changing and distinct, using time to measure change and space to quantify the isolation between objects. He argues that while physics borrows these concepts, their true definition lies in philosophy. The human mind is inherently fragmented and tends to escape the present moment because the 'now' is not a part of time; time consists only of the past and the future. He further clarifies that reality exists only in the 'now,' where the mind cannot exist. In the present moment, there is only pure attention. Using the example of solving a difficult mathematical problem or driving a vehicle, he illustrates that when one is fully immersed and attentive, thought ceases. Thought only arises when attention is broken and the mind retreats into memory or anticipation. He emphasizes that the mind's nature is to run away from the 'here and now' because it is a product of external influences. Acharya Prashant concludes by defining the true self as pure attention. He demonstrates that the mind is not under an individual's control but is highly susceptible to external suggestions. By showing how easily he can make the audience think of monkeys, he proves that the mind is governed by external factors rather than the self. To discover who one truly is, one must move beyond the fragmented mind and remain in a state of absolute clarity and attention in the present moment.
