In response to a request for tools to maintain awareness, Acharya Prashant states that while he has never personally used any specific, definite tool, he can recommend one practice, particularly for a young person. The tool is the constant question: "What is going on, and to whom?" He explains that as conscious, living beings, we are always in the middle of experiences. The practice is to continuously ask, "What really is happening?" and "Who is experiencing it?" This practice, he clarifies, is a 24-hour endeavor, not just for moments of difficulty. In fact, it is of far greater importance to ask these questions when one is happy and feeling high. The inquiry involves questioning both external events and internal states. He advises against simply accepting pre-existing definitions and instead encourages reducing everything to its first principles. For example, when in a market, one should question what a market truly is, who the buyer and seller are, and the nature of their interaction, rather than relying on a memorized concept. Acharya Prashant extends this method of inquiry to personal emotions like attraction and fear. When feeling attracted, one should investigate the nature of attraction itself. When afraid, one should ask what fear is, what it is communicating, and who is the entity being threatened. This process requires having curious, investigative eyes and not blindly trusting what one already knows, as pre-existing knowledge can be a significant impediment to true understanding. Scrutinizing pre-existing beliefs is always beneficial; if a belief is sound, it is reinforced, and if it is hollow, it is discarded. He concludes that this attitude of inquiry should not be reserved only for academic subjects. When one becomes an "inquirer in life," life itself begins to shine beautifully. Through this constant inquiry, everything that is not worth keeping simply drops away, and great things start to come to you.
