Acharya Prashant addresses the confusion regarding the necessity and nature of thought. He explains that thinking itself is neither good nor bad; what truly matters is the source or the center from which the thought arises. He critiques the tendency to question every action while failing to question the act of thinking itself. He points out that many people try to suppress thoughts or seek a state of thoughtlessness without changing the underlying quality of their lives. This, he warns, is like taking medicine to suppress symptoms of illness without addressing the root cause, which can lead to greater harm.
