Acharya Prashant clarifies that it is not the physical body but the mind that seeks to know. However, the mind's standard process of knowing is rooted in duality—the distinction between the knower and the known. In this process, the knower remains unchanged and often seeks to gain something from the knowledge. This approach fails with the Truth because the Truth is not a material object that can be possessed or used for personal benefit. He explains that the Truth cannot be known as something external or other. If one were to encounter the Truth, the individual self or ego would cease to exist. Ordinary knowledge dies with the person, but the Truth remains. The mind's desire to know the Truth while remaining intact is an impossible condition. One must choose between preserving the ego and realizing the Truth. Finally, Acharya Prashant suggests a practical path. Since the Truth cannot be grasped as an object, one should focus on identifying and discarding what is false. The courage to leave the false is itself a sign of the Truth's grace. Instead of searching for the Truth, one should concentrate on recognizing and letting go of lies and illusions in daily life.
