Acharya Prashant explains that words belong to the mental realm and the path, whereas the destination is silence. He suggests that if one cannot comprehend words, they should take the direct route to the destination, which is peace. Words arising from silence are intended to lead back to silence, but they can sometimes act like a guide taking a circuitous route to prove their importance. He notes that not understanding words can be an opportunity to bypass the mental maze and directly establish oneself in silence. Acharya Prashant further clarifies that the ego-centered mind often finds words of wisdom or scriptures like the Upanishads to be disturbing. This disturbance is necessary because it shakes the individual out of their established patterns and egoic centers. He emphasizes that if words from a source of silence are distracting, one must investigate whether they are being distracted from true silence or merely from their own habitual mental patterns. Ultimately, the goal is to reach a state of peace where words are no longer needed and can be forgotten.
