Acharya Prashant explains that the human identity is distinct from the brain and the body. He argues that while the brain's nature is to seek continuity and survival, the individual often yearns for an end, for sleep, or for a full stop, which indicates a separation between the self and the brain. He points out that experiences like love, freedom, and understanding are not mere thoughts, ideas, or concepts produced by the brain. The brain is limited to analyzing and comprehending, yet true understanding happens beyond its conceptual grasp. Even in moments of deep grief, the brain remains focused on biological needs like food and nutrients, demonstrating its mechanical nature focused solely on survival. Acharya Prashant further clarifies that liberation is specifically the process of being freed from the false ownership of the brain's activities. He suggests that one's true identity can be found by identifying what they desire that the body does not. The brain operates on its own for its own continuation, and the sense of 'I' that claims ownership over these thoughts is what needs to be liberated. He emphasizes that this ownership does not disappear automatically; the removal of this identification is the very essence of liberation. If one can truly give up this ownership, there remains nothing else from which to be liberated.
