Acharya Prashant explains that the mind, intellect, ego, and the five elements are all parts of nature, while the witness or the self is the 'Knower'. He emphasizes that suffering arises when the conscious self identifies with the mechanical activities of nature. To bring this theoretical knowledge into practice, one must constantly ask, 'Where is this coming from?' regarding every thought, emotion, or impulse. By honestly investigating the source, one realizes that these are merely biological, chemical, or material processes of nature, much like a wild bull running on the street. Just as it is foolish to claim a relationship with a wild bull and get trampled, it is foolish to identify with natural urges like anger, greed, or lust. He further clarifies that even what we call love, knowledge, or deep thoughts are often just biological reactions or 'constipation of the brain' rather than expressions of the soul. He uses the analogy of a burp to show that just as a burp comes from the gut and not the soul, most human expressions are purely physical. He urges the seeker to maintain a scientific and investigative gaze toward the body and mind. By understanding the mechanical and often repulsive reality of the physical form—hidden just millimeters beneath the skin—one can break the illusion of attraction and identification. True spiritual practice, according to him, lies in maintaining the distinction between the inert nature and the conscious self, thereby remaining untouched by the play of nature.
