Description

Acharya Prashant explains that high thinking is the kind of thought that terminates itself. He compares the mind to a room where the walls are built from experience, the past, and conditioning. While the mind's fundamental nature is freedom, it remains restless within these self-created boundaries. High thinking is a conscious, intelligent movement that leads the mind toward the exit of this enclosure. Once the solution is reached and the mind exits the room, thought disappears and is replaced by rest and relaxation. Thus, high thinking starts as thinking but ends as understanding and thoughtlessness.
