Description

Acharya Prashant explains that moving towards "zero" or liberation involves a gradual reduction in the intensity and frequency of experiences. He uses the analogy of carrying a weight that progressively feels lighter to illustrate how the burden of worldly experiences diminishes. He clarifies that most experiences are essentially forms of suffering, even those labeled as pleasure. He emphasizes that this state of "zeroness" is not a lack of awareness or a state of unconsciousness like fainting; rather, it is supreme consciousness. In this state, one remains unaffected by external events, such as the sound of traffic or people moving, even though they are perceived. True liberation is being untouched by these sensory inputs. Acharya Prashant warns against seeking "spiritual experiences" like seeing lights or hearing sounds, stating that Samadhi is actually going beyond all experiences. While sleep is just a change in the state of consciousness, Samadhi is stepping away from consciousness itself. Regarding Shri Ramakrishna Paramahansa's interactions with the Divine Mother, Acharya Prashant explains that the external actions, language, or behavior of an enlightened being are determined by their environment and history. However, these actions originate from a state of inner silence and Samadhi. He advises focusing on the essence or the source of such beings rather than their outward forms or activities, citing the principle of "Tat Tvam Asi".
