Acharya Prashant explains that there is no fundamental difference between self-knowledge and knowledge of the world, as they are intrinsically linked. He asserts that all knowledge is subjective because it always carries a meaning relative to the self, the one gaining the knowledge. One cannot truly know the world while setting the self aside, nor can one know the self without observing its relationship with the world, including how one relates to money, material, life, and death. Therefore, the acquisition of worldly knowledge is not problematic; the issue lies in superficiality. He encourages going deep by examining the relationship between the subject and the object of knowledge. He advises that when engaging with media like books or videos, one must observe the underlying drive and ask why a particular subject was chosen. Every piece of information sought is often a medium used by the self in a search for emancipation. To understand oneself, one must allow the mind to move in the directions it naturally gravitates toward and witness those movements without suppression. By observing which fields of inquiry, news items, or topics the mind is interested in, one gains a supreme peace and freedom that comes from true self-knowing.
