Acharya Prashant explains that an Upanishad is not limited to a specific image, form, or language, but is synonymous with simplicity itself. He clarifies that whatever arises simply and directly from the heart, without the intervention of the mind or social conditioning, is an Upanishad. This includes everyday actions like looking at the sky, breathing, listening, or even light-hearted banter between friends and silly talk with a child. He emphasizes that we often fail to recognize these moments as Upanishads because we are conditioned to value complexity and formal settings, whereas the essence of an Upanishad lies in its natural and effortless emanation. Addressing the question of how one reaches a state of light-heartedness and simplicity, Acharya Prashant suggests that this is our natural state. He argues that the real question is not how he reached this state, but why others have moved away from it through constant doing and social conformity. He uses the analogies of keeping a beard or remaining single to illustrate that these are results of not doing anything extra, whereas shaving or getting married are active interventions. He concludes by stating that intelligence is inherent in everyone and is synonymous with innocence; it is only when one tries to exceed this natural intelligence that it turns into cleverness or cunningness.
