Acharya Prashant explains that the mind is inherently a product of duality and that duality itself is not separate from the mind. He clarifies that the source of all duality must be non-dual. When the mind is silent and peaceful, duality rests in its source and becomes sanctified or sacred. He emphasizes that language is a product of the human mind and is too limited to accommodate or describe the source. Because language operates in the dimension of opposites, such as 'is' and 'is not', it cannot truly capture the source, which exists beyond these dimensions. Therefore, the sage remains quiet because the source cannot bear the weight of words. Regarding the concept of a guru, Acharya Prashant asserts that there is only one true guru, which is the source itself. He rejects the idea of middlemen or the personification of the guru, stating that the source must be approached directly through a unique personal relationship. He explains that life itself is the guru, presenting various situations—like an exam, a breakup, or even a dead body—that serve as opportunities for awakening. He cites the Uddhav Gita, which lists twenty-four gurus, including animals and elements of nature, to illustrate that anything in life can be a guru if it leads to immersion in the source. He further clarifies that a guru is not a person with a specific qualification but rather a state of mind that is immersed in the source. He warns against the personality cults that arise from personifying the guru. Finally, he discusses the nature of the source, stating that it does not 'exist' in the way material objects do. To describe the source, one must use contradictory terms like 'everything and nothing' or 'everywhere and nowhere' because it transcends the dualistic nature of language. He concludes that the source cannot be captured or reached through methods, as one is already within it.
