Acharya Prashant addresses a query regarding a verse from the Ribhu Gita, which suggests that the firm denial of the mind and belief in the Brahman-self is the way to conquer the mind and experience the soul. He clarifies that the truth itself cannot be read; rather, what we read are expressions arising from the truth. He explains that duality is not separate from the truth, as nothing exists apart from it. However, for the individual, duality is a reality that must be acknowledged. The scriptures term the world or ego as 'false' not because they don't exist, but because they represent the truth in a divided or enveloped form. He emphasizes that the goal is not to seek an abstract truth, but to seek relief from suffering, as one can be in the truth and still be troubled.
