Acharya Prashant explains the state of ultimate truth as being beyond both suppression and indulgence. He describes a way of living where one can participate in the world, like playing in a river, without getting 'wet' or entangled. He emphasizes that while the world is ours to experience, we must maintain our inner purity, referencing Kabir Saheb's metaphor of returning the 'shawl' of life as clean as it was received. However, he warns against the egoistic obsession with maintaining purity to the point of avoiding life altogether, suggesting that one should live fully without being afraid of a few 'stains' because the one who gives the stains also provides the cleansing. This balance is described as a 'tightrope walk' or 'walking on a sword's edge'—being fully in the world through love while remaining untouched through knowledge. He further clarifies that the true self is neither bound nor a seeker of liberation. Identifying as 'bound' or 'liberated' both provide a refuge for the ego, whereas the ultimate state is one of silence where such labels do not exist. Using an example of a relationship conflict, he illustrates how love without wisdom becomes poisonous and knowledge without love becomes dry and lifeless. He concludes that the ultimate reality is neither having the desire to attain something nor the pride of having attained it. To be neither on a journey nor at a destination is the essence of the supreme truth, avoiding both the craving of the seeker and the vanity of the one who claims to be enlightened.
