Acharya Prashant explains that the only way to move forward on the spiritual journey is through the classical, old method of rejection, or 'Neti Neti' (not this, not this). He states that one can never identify the 'new,' as it is not available to be identified. However, one can identify the 'old.' The process involves looking at the available options and seeing which ones are merely a recycling or extension of previous experiences. These old options must be rejected. This act of rejection is, in itself, reinvention. The speaker clarifies that the one to be reinvented is the ego. The ego is its own object and has no independent existence; it exists only in relation to its objects, which can be mental (like memories) or physical (like relationships). Therefore, to do away with the old ego, one must do away with the old objects it identifies with. Changing the external objects is a necessary but not sufficient condition for inner change. It is possible to change all the external things around you while the internal self remains the same. However, if one refuses to change even the external things, it is almost guaranteed that the internal self will never change. Acharya Prashant warns that the ego is cunning and can play a 'spiritual game' of changing all the exteriors—like clothes, language, or lifestyle—while the interiors remain unchanged. This is a trap that spiritual people, more than worldly people, can fall into. Ultimately, whether or not real change happens depends solely on the intention. One gets into any experience because it provides meaning and is supposed to lead to improvement. You are the final measure of the worth of anything in the world; everything exists to you and for your sake. The moment you find that a thing is no longer adding value to you, it is your time to move on. This is not an insult to the thing itself, which may still be magnificent for others, but a recognition of your own need for progress.
