Acharya Prashant explains that a Guru's primary role is to demonstrate the futility of knowledge, as knowledge is material and reinforces the ego. He distinguishes between faith and belief, stating that belief requires an object and is inherently dangerous, whereas true faith is courageous and directed toward existence itself without a specific object. He emphasizes that until one stops believing in the potency of knowledge, their fundamental trust remains rooted in the material world. Regarding meditation, he asserts that meditativeness is a state beyond time that should be constant. He argues that meditation activities, such as specific poses or breathing exercises, are only meaningful if they arise from a pre-existing state of inner peace. Attempting to gain peace through these activities is a delusion; instead, the activities should be a manifestation of one's inner meditativeness. He notes that when one is internally meditative, every action becomes a spontaneous meditative exercise. He clarifies the concept of "the observer is the observed," explaining that the external world reflects the quality of the mind. Honest observation leads to the dissolution of both the observer and the observed, resulting in a state where only the happening remains without a doer. He warns against the modern interpretation of "mindfulness" when it becomes a formal, thought-heavy procedure, noting that true awareness is the cessation of thought rather than an additional mental burden or an eleventh activity added to one's day. Finally, he discusses witnessing and non-violence. Witnessing must be passive and not an active mental process that creates further dualism. He defines non-violence (ahimsa) as abiding in one's central nature or the self. He asserts that any cultivated, planned, or enforced behavior is inherently violent because it goes against the self, whereas true ahimsa is the natural state of being centered.
