Acharya Prashant explains that thought is an action of the mind, and as long as one's current identity exists, achieving a state of 'no-thought' is nearly impossible. He points out that thoughts are always centered around the self; they arise because the individual is involved in them, either directly or indirectly. Therefore, the quality of one's thoughts depends entirely on the state of the thinker. If a person is restless and fearful, their thoughts cannot be calm. He emphasizes that thought itself is not a sin or an evil; rather, it is a remarkable power of the mind. The problem lies in the lack of control over thoughts, which stems from a lack of self-control. Just as a person in a fit of rage might shout without control, thoughts jump around because the individual is not self-aware.
